A histological study of normal reproductive organs, livers, and adrenal glands from immature and adult Japanese quail of both sexes and of quail fed 200 ppm of the insecticide Kepone under long and short photoperiods was carried out. Kepone increased cellular proliferation, cytodifferentiation and tubular gland formation in the oviducts of immature quail when kept under 6 hr of light and 18 hr of darkness (6L: 18D) and 16 hr of light and 8 hr of darkness (16L: 8D). No cellular changes were noted in the oviducts from laying quail. Ovarian tissue from Kepone-treated quail contained more primary oocytes and smaller follicles when compared to the control birds. Liver cells from all experimental birds were filled with large, lipidlike inclusions. Hypertrophy of adrenal cortical and medullary cells was noted in all Kepone-treated birds. A detrimental effect of Kepone was recorded in the testes of immature and adult quail under the 16L: 8D light regimen. Highly dilated seminiferous tubules, reduced germinal epithelium and spermatozoa, and abundant intraluminal cellular debris were common. The results indicate that the insecticide Kepone has an estrogenlike effect on the oviducts of immature females and on the testes of both immature and mature males.
