Effects of lindane on swimming performance of carp (Cyprinus carpio) [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1991 The influence of lindane on swimming performance of carp was investigated. Lindane was found to significantly effect fish swimming performance. It is suggested that lindane may influence the exchange of respiratory gases or the metabolic pathways ...

Bioremediation of Lindane by Wood-Decaying Fungi [PDF]
Drvna Industrija, 2012 The object of this paper is to study the ability of four white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor, Hypoxylon fragiforme, Chondrostereum purpureum, and Pleurotus ostreatus) and one brown-rot fungus (Gloeophyllum trabeum) to degrade the organochlorine ...

Phytodetoxification of Lindane (γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane) With Plants Expressing a Bacterial Dechlorinase. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolTransgenic Arabidopsis thaliana engineered to express the linA (dehydrochlorinase) gene of Sphingobium japonicum strain UT26 manages to remove the persistent contaminant lindane from soil. ABSTRACT The construction and performance of plants capable of detoxifying the organochlorine pesticide (lindane, γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane or γ‐HCH) is reported.

Subacute Exposure to Aldrin, Endosulfan and Lindane Differentially Alters Metabolic and Inflammatory Gene Expression in White and Brown Adipose Tissue of Male Rats. [PDF]
Cell Biochem FunctABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been implicated in obesity and metabolic dysfunction. As they bioaccumulate in adipose tissue, OCPs may act as obesogens, but in vivo evidence for aldrin, endosulfan and lindane is limited.

A Mechanistic Review of Environmental Stressor to Decode Their Effect on Congenital Malformations: A Developmental Toxicity. [PDF]
J Biochem Mol ToxicolEnvironmental toxicants may disrupt developmental pathways via strong molecular docking interactions with hub FGF proteins (FGF9 and FGF4) like dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (−7.2 kcal/mol) at the ASN146 residue of FGF9, driving congenital malformations as revealed by PPI networks and toxicity profiling.
