Impact of Endosulfan on Male Reproductive functions - a review
Endosulfan is an organochlorine insecticide and acaracide used to control a broad range of insect and arthropod pests on a wide variety of crops in many agrosystems. It can cause acute and chronic toxicity. Endosulfan is a neurotoxin, haematoxin, genotoxin and nephrotoxin. Toxicity of this inse...

| description | Endosulfan is an organochlorine insecticide and
acaracide used to control a broad range of insect and arthropod
pests on a wide variety of crops in many agrosystems. It can
cause acute and chronic toxicity. Endosulfan is a neurotoxin,
haematoxin, genotoxin and nephrotoxin. Toxicity of this
insecticide on reproductive organs is confirmed. So this article
reviews experimental and epidemiological studies of
reproductive toxicity of endosulfan in males. The Literature
search was carried on PubMed for the years 1994 -2014. Twelve
experimental studies and two human studies on Male
Reproductive Toxicity induced by endosulfan were identified.
Based on the findings, it suggest that endosulfan can affect
the male reproductive system and also that these effects are
likely to be larger if exposure occurs during the developmental
phase. Further investigation of endosulfan as reproductive
toxicant is warranted. |
