title: [Reproductive and developmental toxicity of organotin compounds].
abstract: Organotin compounds are chemicals widely used in agriculture and industry. Widespread use of organotins has caused increasing amounts to be released into the environment. Organotins show many aspects of toxicity, such as immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive/developmental toxicity. However, the reproductive and developmental toxicity of organotins is not well understood. The findings of the studies on reproductive and developmental effects of organotin compounds in mammals were summarized in this review.
