γ-HCH
Chime image
Known to bind to GABAA receptor.
- GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter.
- Inhibiting GABAA receptor can explain many of the effects of lindane, such
as anorexia, hypothermia, and persistent seizures.
We believe that lindane may also bind to the PBR.
- Lindane is known to bind in brain and steroidogenic tissues, where the PBR
is located.
