“…When humans are exposed through food or drinking water to HCH isomers ( α -HCH, β -HCH and γ -HCH) and aldrin, the slow metabolism and excretion of these pesticides together with their notable hydrophobicity promote bioaccumulation. A pilot study in a population of North Indians reported that increased blood levels of β -HCH and the organochlorine compound dieldrin were associated with significant increases in AD risk, independent of the genetic risk factor, with odds ratios of 2.78 (95% CI of 1.35–5.69) and 2.34, respectively [ 85 ]. Epidemiological studies and experimental studies showed that these pesticides induce oxidative stress and neurotoxicity [ 24 ].…”
