Modulation of Immune Response by Organophosphorus Pesticides: Fishes as a Potential Model in Immunotoxicology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immune response is modulated by different substances that are present in the environment. Nevertheless, some of these may cause an immunotoxic effect. In this paper, the effect of organophosphorus pesticides (frequent substances spilled in aquatic ecosystems) on the immune system of fishes and in immunotoxicology is reviewed. Furthermore, some cellular and molecular mechanisms that might be involved in immunoregulation mechanisms of organophosphorus pesticides are discussed.

Fe3O4/CNT Magnetic Nanocomposites as Adsorbents to Remove Organophosphorus Pesticides from Environmental Water
In this study, a method for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in environmental water using magnetic solid phase extraction (magnetic-SPE) followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed. The magnetic carbon nanotube adsorbents (Fe3O4/CNT) were synthesized by grafting carbo...
متن کاملThe lymphocytic cholinergic system and its modulation by organophosphorus pesticides.
Clinical and basic mechanism observations reveal interactions between neural and immune systems. These two systems create a complex network for recognizing danger to the host and its protection from outside pathogenic elements as well as from inside overreactions of inflammatory character. Here, we review the interactions of these two systems in relation to the effects of pesticides that clearl...

Plant derived immunostimulants are a promising alternative to chemotherapeutics and also perhaps vaccines. In the present study, we examined the immunostimulating properties of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus niruri, an Indian traditional medicinal herb, on neutrophil activation and antibody response of Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters). Serial ten-fold diluted doses of P. niruri ranging fro...

Phosalone, malathion and diazinon were analyzed in corn oil using solid phase extraction (SPE)with lanthanum silicate as a new solid sorbent followed by gas chromatography with nitrogenphosphorus detection (GC-NPD). The efficiency of different eluents (methanol, dichloromethane,ethyl acetate, dichloromethane — ethyl acetate (1:1) and ethyl acetate — methanol (1:1)) werecompared for elution of o...
متن کاملDetermination of Twenty Organophosphorus Pesticides in Wheat Samples from Different Regions of Iran
Background: Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture, homes, gardens, and veterinary practices. Extensive application of pesticides in agriculture often results in residues of these compounds being absorbed into the foods, including wheat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the residue levels of 20 organophosphorus pesticides in wheat samples collected from different region...
