Kenny, A D

The effect of DDT on vitamin D metabolism has been studied in egg-laying Japanese quail. The quail were placed on Purina Chicken Startena containing 0, 0.3 or 30 ppM of a technical preparation of DDT for 2 and 4 weeks. Kidney homogenates were prepared and incubated in vitro with /sup 3/H-25-hydroxyvitamin D/sub 3/ and the production of the active hormonal form of vitamin D/sub 3/, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D/sub 3/, was determined. DDT under the conditions tested did not interfere with the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D/sub 3/ to its active form. 13 references, 1 table.
