Effect of Diazinon, an Organophosphate Insecticide, on Plasma Lipid Constituents in Experimental Animals

Effect of diazinon, an organophosphate insecticide, on plasma lipid constituents in experimental animals.

There has been increasing interest in studying the various effects of organophosphate insecticides in humans and experimental animals. Only a few data are available on the effect of the organophosphate insecticide, diazinon, on lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diazinon on plasma lipid constituents in mammalian animals. The plasma levels of total cholesterol ...

Effect of Organophosphate Insecticide on the Organic Constituents in Liver of Channa punctatus

Effect of Chlorpyrifos (Dursban) an organophosphate insecticide on the glycogen, cholesterol, protein, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in liver in Channa punctatus (Bloch) exhibited notable alterations. Liver being the main site of metabolic activity in body and highly active in both toxifying and detoxifying insecticides, was selected for the study purpose. Chlorpyrifos insecticide c...

Effect of an Organophosphate Insecticide Diazinon on the Activity of Acetylcholinesterase and Lipid Peroxidation of a Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio L

Diazinon is a widely used organophosphorus pesticide in agriculture and environmental health, hence its adverse effects on non target animals, especially on fish is to be determined. The present research is conducted to study the influence of diazinon [0, 0-diethyl 0-(2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4yl) phosphorothioate] on acetylcholinestrase (AChE) and lipidperoxidation (LPO) on freshwater com...

Apoptotic Effect of Organophosphorus Insecticide Diazinon on Rat Ovary and Protective Effect of Vitamin E

Background: Diazinon (DZN) is an organophosphate insecticide widely utilized in agriculture all over the world and causes many negative effects on plants and animal species, especially on human. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of DZN on apoptosis of ovarian follicles in adult rats and to assess the protective role of vit E. Methods: Thirty adult female Wistar rats were d...
