"Prenatal exposure to the pesticide tributyltin increased obesity in mice for several generations by permanently changing how fat cells develop, mature and store fat, according to a new study. The children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of pregnant mice that drank the chemical had bigger fat cells, more fat deposits and the start of liver disease. Low levels are measured in people. Its use as an anti-fouling agent on ship's hulls is restricted because of its persistence in the environment and toxic effects on marine life, but it is still used to kill fungus or other microbes in some building materials, wood coatings, textiles and other products."
