[Relase of organochloride pesticides during acute weight losses (author's transl)].
The increase of blood organochloride pesticide levels and the urinary excretion have been determined in 4 human subjects undergoing a caloric restriction sequence (500 total K. calories per day) followed by a total starvation period of 36 hours. The severe lipolysis due to the caloric restriction causes an important liberation of fat-soluble pesticides especially DDT and DDE (30 ppb of total DDT equivalents) and an increase of urinary excretion (15 ppb of total DDT equivalents).
