The insecticide-channel interactions that have been studied most extensively are pyrethroid actions on the voltage-gated sodium channel and cyclodiene/lindane actions on the GABAA receptor chloride channel complex.

The type I pyrethroid allethrin and the type II pyrethroid deltamethrin were both effective in prolonging the sodium current in the TXX-resistant sodium channel but had only a small effect on the TTX-sensitive sodium channel.
In contrast to the pyrethroids, lindane and the cyclodienes endrin, isobenzan, dieldrin and heptachlor-epoxide suppressed the GABA-induced chloride current.
