To get more insight into the mechanism (s) involved in gonadal effect (s) of lindane, we sought to investigate whether treatment with lindane at a low dose would alter the levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), androgen binding protein (ABP) and activities of steroidogenic enzymes (3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) in adult rat.

It was demonstrated that lindane reduced cortisol secretion, downregulated the expression of a subset of the genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes and repressed transcriptional activation of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) gene promoter.
