Effects of Probiotic Oral Intake on Plasma Chlordecone (Kepone) Concentrations in Individuals Environmentally Exposed to Pesticide in Martinique.
Sponsor: University Hospital Center of Martinique
Summary
The CHLOR-DETOX study is a single-centre, double-blind, prospective, interventional, controlled, exploratory pilot study on subjects environmentally exposed to the organochlorine pesticide (kepone or chlordecone, CLD) in the French Caribbean (Martinique island). To our best knowledge, it is the first clinical trial in such subjects evaluating the potential effect of oral probiotic intake (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) on the reduction of CLD plasma levels (chlordeconemia) and fecal excretion, thus concurring to the reduction of CLD toxicity in study subjects.
