Effect of chronic oral exposure (10 and 20 mg kg (-1) body wt. for 7, 15 and 30 days) to hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on open-field behaviour and activities of cerebral Na+,K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of rat was evaluated.

Galanthamine concentrations up to 1 x 10 (-5) M did not affect choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, [3H] hemicholinium-3 (HCh-3) binding to the choline carrier, [3H] quinuclidinylbenzilate (QNB) binding to muscarinic receptors, or [3H] acetylcholine binding to nicotinic receptors in cortical homogenates.

Repeated dermal application of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH; 100 mg/kg/day) or methyl parathion (2 mg/kg/day) individually or in combination for 7, 15 and 30 days produced pathomorphological changes in skin, liver, kidney and brain of female rats along with significant enzymatic alterations in the activity of transaminase, alkaline phosphatase lactic dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase.

The changes in biochemical constituents of rat erythrocyte membranes were observed after a single ip exposure to 300 mg commercial HCH/kg body weight (one-third of the LD50).
The phospholipid:cholesterol ratio was altered, and there were changes in the activities of the membrane-bound enzymes ATPase and acetylcholinesterase.

Administration of HCH (technical) to rats at 5 mg/kg, orally, 5 days a week for 1, 2 and 3 months caused marked increase in erythrocyte membrane fluidity, osmotic fragility and decrease in levels of Na+, K (+)-ATPase, acetylcholinesterase in erythrocytes and glutathione in blood. 2.
