Abstract excerpt
Endosulfan is enlisted as one of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and exists in the form of its α and β isomers in the environment as well as in the form of endosulfan sulfate, a toxic metabolite. General endosulfan toxicity has been investigated in various organisms, but the effect of the isomers and sulfate metabolites on reproductive function is unclear. This study was aimed at studying the...
