methoxychlor and Abnormalities, Drug-Induced

methoxychlor has been researched along with Abnormalities, Drug-Induced in 4 studies

Methoxychlor: An insecticide. Methoxychlor has estrogenic effects in mammals, among other effects.

Abnormalities, Drug-Induced: Congenital abnormalities caused by medicinal substances or drugs of abuse given to or taken by the mother, or to which she is inadvertently exposed during the manufacture of such substances. The concept excludes abnormalities resulting from exposure to non-medicinal chemicals in the environment.

"The effect of Methoxychlor (MXC) on the thymus was examined in rat pups that were delivered from dams receiving MXC at a dietary concentration of 0 or 1500 ppm for a period from pregnancy to lactation."7.71Thymic atrophy induced by methoxychlor in rat pups. ( Fujisawa, H; Harada, T; Hayashi, K; Kosaka, T; Maita, K; Takeda, M; Takeuchi, Y; Teramoto, S; Yoshida, T, 2002)

"This study was designed to assess whether exposure to the estrogenic pesticide methoxychlor (MXC) during pregnancy would affect reproductive parameters not only in female offspring exposed prenatally, but also in those of a subsequent litter."3.68Effects of methoxychlor treatment of pregnant mice on female offspring of the treated and subsequent pregnancies.
