In contrast, the chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, such as DDT, dieldrin, chlordane, and mirex, cause almost exclusively the induction of isoforms of the CYP2B (and to a lesser extent the CYP3A) subfamilies.

This study examined the effects of the organochlorine (OC) insecticides chlordane, o,p'-DDT, dieldrin, endosulfan, kepone, methoxychlor, and toxaphene on human HepG2 cytochrome P450 (1A-EROD and 2B-PROD) activities and glutathione (GSH) levels.
These results support findings of OC insecticides inducing CYP1A, 2B in rats, with CYP2B responses more important.

The accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs; 34 congeners), sigmaDDT (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE), chlordanes (sigmaCHL; trans-chlordane, cis-chlordane, trans-nonachlor, cis-nonachlor and oxychlordane), hexachlorocyclohexanes (sigmaHCH; alpha-, beta- and gamma-isomers), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and mirex was investigated in members of a marine food web from the Hvaler and Torbjornskaer archipelago, south-eastern Norway.
High correlations between EROD and PROD activities were found in all species, suggesting a single, common catalyst, CYP1A, and render the PROD assay questionable as biomarker for CYP2B inducers in marine wildlife.
