Distribution of Iodine125 Labeled Parathion and the Protective Effect of Dried Banana Peel in Experimental Mice

AbstractParathion (PA) one of the organophosphorus pesticides, is widespread in agriculture crops. Several studies reported detection this pesticide residue food at high concentrations. Accordingly, purpose study was to determine accumulation iodine [125I] labeled parathion ([125I] PA) mice organs and protecting reflex dried banana peel. In study, two groups were used. Iodine (10 mg/kg body weight) applied only group mice. Meanwhile, PA peel (20% added diet) other The injected by through tail vein given mouth. kept under observation for 180 min. monitoring. result first mice, which with PA, indicated that distributed primarily kidneys (18.6%), liver (18.9%), intestine (6.11%), after second received both peels, accumulated a lower percentage (10.2%), (5.2%), (4.67%) These results decrease could be due effect draw attention use agricultural waste remove residues contaminating feed.
