Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate
endocrine disturbances in female rats with 20% EC
fenvalerate. Significant (P<0.05) decrease in T3, T4
and E2 levels in all fenvalerate treated groups when
compared to control groups. In between groups
significant variation was observed. Significant
improvement was observed only in lower dose levels
of toxin with ameliorating agent.
