Toxicological Profile for Endrin

Title: Toxicological Profile for Endrin

Subject of Planned Report: The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly reviews the toxicologic, epidemiologic, and adverse health effects for the substance being described.  It also summarizes environmental fate and transport mechanisms and the potential for human exposure.

Purpose of Planned Report: The purpose of the toxicological profile is to provide a source of toxicological and epidemiological data on hazardous substances most commonly found at hazardous waste sites and in support of public health assessments at these sites.

Areas of Expertise, Discipline, Relevant Experiences Expertise / Discipline: Toxicology; Neurotoxicology; Toxic neurotransmitter metabolites in aged and diabetic human myocardium;
Experience:Pesticide-Mediated Generation of a Toxic Neurotransmitter Metabolite; Contribution of Glial Cells to Neurotoxicity and Neurodegeneration; Dr. Doorn’s work involves examining the role of reactive intermediates in toxicity and disease. Specifically, his mechanistic, hypothesis-driven research focuses on the potential role of protein modification by a reactive metabolite of dopamine metabolism in neurotoxicity and neurodegenerative disease, i.e. Parkinson’s disease. Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter that is metabolized by monoamine oxidase to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL), an intermediate shown to be reactive toward proteins and toxic to dopaminergic cells.
