Administration of vitamin A (10,000 I.U./100 g body weight) daily for ten days reduced the activity of the above mentioned enzymes, when vitamin A and endosulfan were given together, vitamin A reduced the endosulfan induced increase of microsomal proteins and cytochrome P-450 levels, the activity of NADPH cytochrome C-reductase, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline-hydroxylase.

Endosulfan I (a metabolite) causes a significant change in norepinephrine, 5-HT and GABA. (b) Renal toxicity: inhibition of MFOs activity was noticed in rats; other effects included changes in proximal convoluted tubules and necrosis of the tubular epithelium. (c) Hepatotoxicity: chemically-induced aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydrolase were found in rat liver, and reduction in the glycogen level occurred. (d) Hematologic toxicity: endosulfan exposure resulted in a significant decrease in the level occurred. (d) Hematologic toxicity: endosulfan exposure resulted in a significant decrease in the erythrocyte glutathione reductase, hemoglobin amount, RBC number and mean corpuscular volume. 4.

Administration of endosulfan significantly increased microsomal protein, cytochrome P-450 content and the activity of aminopyrine N-demethylase.

Using 16 individual human liver microsomes (HLMs), a strong correlation was observed with endosulfan sulfate formation and S-mephenytoin N-demethylase activity of CYP2B6 (r (2) = 0.79), whereas a moderate correlation with testosterone 6 beta-hydroxylase activity of CYP3A4 (r (2) = 0.54) was observed.

Endosulfan was found to induce aminopyrine-n-demethylase (81%) and aniline hydroxylase (59%) activities significantly in liver and to a lesser extent in brain.
