Swine cells IB-RS-2 were exposed to 0,1-100 microgram/ml medium of DDT and aldrin for 48 hours. The data obtained showed that both compounds decreased cell growth. This effect depends on the concentration and on the time of cell exposition to the insecticides. These compounds also decreased the levels of cellular protein, RNA and DNA. The degrees of changes with aldrin were less than with DDT.
