8519523 Prasad AK, Pant N, Srivastava SC, Kumar R, Srivastava SP: Effect of dermal application of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on male reproductive system of rat. Hum Exp Toxicol. 1995 Jun;14(6):484-8.
1. The toxic manifestations of dermally applied hexachlorocyclohexane (50 mg or 100 mg kg-1 body weight day-1, 5 days in a week for 120 days) on testes and sperm of rat have been investigated. 2. The results indicate that exposure of HCH through the dermal route could lead to an alteration in the activities of marker testicular enzymes viz. sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose-6-P-dehydrogenase (G6PDH), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) and beta-glucuronidase (beta Gluc.) associated with specific cell types. 3. Significant quantities of HCH and its isomers accumulated in testes as well as sperm of treated rats. 4. HCH exposure also led to a decrease in serum testosterone levels, epididymal sperm count, sperm motility and an increase in the percentage of abnormal sperm. 5. These observations indicate the possibility of adverse effects of HCH on the male reproductive functions of men exposed dermally to this pesticide in industry or during spraying in the field.
