Crofton, K. AND L.W. Reiter. EFFECTS OF TWO PYRETHROID INSECTICIDES ON MOTOR ACTIVITY AND THE ACOUSTIC STARTLE RESPONSE IN THE RAT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-84/221 (NTIS PB85160372), 1984.

Description:

To better characterize the behavioral toxicity of pyrethroid insecticides, comparisons were made of the effects of cismethrin and deltamethrin exposure on motor activity and the acoustic startle response in male Long-Evans rats. Acute dose-effect, acute time course, and 30-day repeated-exposure determinations of 1-hr motor activity were made using figure-eight mazes.
