초록

Cypermethrin is one of the pyrethroids, synthetic derivatives of naturally occurring pyrethrins. Cypermethrin has been developed as an insecticide, and is now in worldwise use for control of a wide range of insects, providing potential for human exposure. Our previous study suggested estrogenic activity of cypermethrin. A chemical with hormonal activity could adversely affect reproduction and development. (omitted)
