Carcinogenicity of endrin.

M D Reuber

    The Science of the Total Environment
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endrin exposure caused cancer in rats, mice, and dogs, leading to various malignant neoplasms. Toxic effects were also observed, particularly in male rats, impacting organ health and potentially influencing tumor development.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Carcinogenesis
    • Veterinary Pathology

    Background:

    • Endrin, an organochlorine insecticide, has been investigated for its potential health effects.
    • Previous studies have suggested carcinogenic properties of Endrin in laboratory animals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Endrin in rats, mice, and dogs.
    • To identify specific types of neoplasms and toxicological changes induced by Endrin exposure.

    Main Methods:

    • Long-term oral administration of Endrin to rats, mice, and dogs.
    • Histopathological examination of tissues to identify neoplasms and toxic lesions.
    • Analysis of tumor incidence and types across different species and sexes.

    Main Results:

    • Endrin induced significant incidences of malignant neoplasms at multiple sites in rats, including endocrine organs, mammary glands, liver, and reproductive systems.
    • Female rats showed susceptibility to endocrine and reproductive system tumors, while both sexes developed lymphomas.
    • Toxic effects in male rats included kidney fibrosis, arterial inflammation, and testicular atrophy. Dogs exhibited bone marrow hyperplasia, thyroid and muscle lesions. Mice developed liver and uterine tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Endrin is a carcinogen in rats, mice, and dogs.
    • The observed toxic lesions may influence the development of neoplasms.
    • Endrin poses a significant carcinogenic risk, necessitating careful consideration of its environmental and health impacts.
