Endocrine disruptive action of cypermethrin in male mice

Abstract: Administration (intubation) of cypermethrin to adult male mice for 6 and 12 weeks on alternate day in 3 dose levels,1.38, 2.76 and 5.52 mg/kg body weight (bw) corresponding to 1/476, 1/238 and 1/119 of LD 50 dose respectively, caused degeneration of germinal epithelium, vacuolization of seminiferous tubules and a significant decrease in i) weight of the body, testes and epididymis, ii) diameter of the seminiferous tubules and epididymal ducts and iii) serum levels of testosterone these parameters were restored… Show more

“…Cypermethrin (CYP) is a poisonous manmade chemical chemical compound that is used to control many insects by pyrethroid in crops worldwide (Fernandez-Alvarez et al, 2009;Jin et al, 2010;Aioub et al, 2020). CYP has carcinogenic and cocarcinogens and can contain compounds such as 3-phenoxybenzoic acid with endocrine activity (Morgan et al, 2007), and oestrogenic activity (Mohammed and Hanumant 2011). The hydrophobic properties of pyrethroids typically cause soil particles to be highly sportive, which can cause binding residues to form (Ostiz and Khan 1994) and make CYP very immobile in soil because of its high log KOC value (soil adsorption coe cient) (Fenoll et al, 2010).…”

“…Cypermethrin (CYP) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that is used worldwide on crops to control a wide range of insects [5,6]. CYP has carcinogenic and cocarcinogenic potentials and can produce compounds with endocrine activity, such as 3-phenoxybenzoic acid [7] and oestrogenic activities [8]. The hydrophobic properties of pyrethroids generally cause strong sorption of these compounds into soil particles, which may cause the formation of bound residues [9] and render CYP rather immobile in soil due to its high log K OC value (soil adsorption coefficient) [10].…”
