β-BHC is an isomer of the organochlorine pesticide γ-lindane (Item No. 23952) that is a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of lindane.{42199} It is estrogenic, inducing estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ reporter gene expression in CHO cells expressing the human receptors with 20% relative effective concentration (REC20) values of 3.5 and 1.1 μM, respectively.{42200} In vitro, β-BHC induces apoptosis of rat Sertoli cells via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of caspases, and induction of expression of Fas ligand (FasL).{42201} It is a persistent organic pollutant and levels of total body β-BHC are negatively correlated to plasma testosterone levels in male polar bears.{42202}
