Absorption rate and plasma and fat disposition of lindane after various lindane percutaneous treatments in shorn and unshorn sheep were investigated. To analyze data with a deconvolution method, IV administration was performed to determine the basic pharmacokinetic values of lindane in sheep. After IV administration, the steady state volume of distribution was very high (8.07 +/- 3.60 L/kg of body weight), and the mean residence time was long (28.1 +/- 11.7 hours). Deconvolution analysis indicated that lindane absorption was continuous until 33 to 41 days after spraying with a 0.025% lindane solution. Total amount of absorbed lindane in shorn (15,171 +/- 4,463 microgram/kg) sheep was about twice that in unshorn (7,615 +/- 3,128 microgram/kg) sheep; from deconvolution analysis, it was calculated that the time required for 50% of the available dose to be absorbed was between 115 and 179 hours. After percutaneous lindane administration, the fat concentration was compared with the available lindane dose. The apparent half-life of lindane elimination in fat was 225 +/- 47.4 hours, which is similar to the value calculated for the absorption rate constant. By comparing fat and plasma concentrations, it was calculated that for a mean plasma concentration of 5 ng/ml, the fat lindane concentration was 1.65 +/- 0.87 microgram/g (ie, lower than the generally accepted tolerance level of 2 microgram/g).
