Effect of lindane on pregnancy in the rabbit and rat.
There was no evidence of any teratogenic effect of lindane when administered during pregnancy at levels equivalent to 5, and 15 mg/kg body weight to New Zealand White rabbits from days 6 to 18 inclusive, or to CFY rats from days 6 to 16 inclusive. These findings are consistent with the negative teratogenicity results in mice mutagenicity studies and 3-generation rat reproduction studies already reported.
