Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbon widely distributed in the environment. In animal testing, HCB has been shown to be a reproductive toxin. Previous investigations of the effects of HCB on ovarian function have yielded equivocal results. Thus, the effects of chronic ad

Adult female Wistar rats were fed with a diet containing 0.05% hexachlorobenzene. On the 60th day of this treatment the specific activities of NADPH: delta 4-3-oxosteroid-5 alpha-reductase and the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases in rat liver microsomes were diminished compared to control rats. The c
Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), is a global pollutant that resists degradation and possesses a propensity to bioaccumulate. However, the effect of HCB on adrenal function remains largely unknown. Thus, circulating levels of adrenal steroids in HCB-exposed (0.0, 1.0, 10.0, or 100.0 mg/kg/ day-for 30 days by
## Abstract The effects of subacute exposure to atrazine on body weight, ovarian cycling, conception rate and the size of litters in Fischer strain rats were studied. An atrazine dose of 120 mg kg^β1^ body wt given p.o. daily for 7 days to both female and male rats caused statistically significant
