Background: Environmental pollutants including organophosphate insecticides impair glucose metabolism by altering hepatic oxidation and play an important role in the development of diabetes and its complications. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of repeated oral doses of Diazinon, an organophosphate insecticide, which is known to impair the glucose metabolism and its tolerance th...

diazinon is a moderately persistent organ phosphorus pesticide largely used in agriculture. thepurpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathological damages induced by diazinon in gills, kidney,spleen, and intestine tissues of rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss. the fishes were exposed to sub-lethalconcentrations of diazinon (0.1 and 0.2 mg/l) for a period of 28 days. tissues analyzed by ...

diazinon pesticide and its metabolites have been identified in aquatic systems worldwide. it was related to toxicity for aquatic organisms, animals, and humans. waters contaminated with such persistent insecticides should be treated with suitable treatment processes. in this research, diazinon removal from aqueous solutions by the photo–fenton–like process (uv/h2o2/fe0) was investigated. this e...

background: diazinon is an organophosphorous pesticide which widely found in municipal, agricultural, and urban storm water discharges. the present study was conducted to achieve lethal concentration (lc50) and behavioral changes of rutilus rutilus caspius and hypophthal-micthys molitrix after exposure to lethal concentration of diazinon. methods: the experiment was carried out in static condit...

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute and sub-acute effects of diazinon onhistopathological parameters of liver tissue and blood level of hepatic enzymes of male commonfrog (Rana ridibunda). Frogs were assigned to 9 groups (n=8, meaning 8 frogs in each group):control and treatment groups with 30, 60, 90 and 120 μg/L diazinon in water for one day or oneweek. Hepatic enzymes containi...

Statistical models have long been used for reliability analysis and risk assessment. In the present study, an accelerated life-test model was used to analyze a set of dose-time-response data obtained with the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber. Survival data were experimentally obtained by exposing P. scaber to diazinon (a nonpersistent insecticide) at six concentrations between 2 and 11.31 mi...

Neurotoxic pesticides are known to contaminate surface waters that provide habitat for salmonids, including some listed for protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Despite their widespread use, the impacts of these pesticides on the neurological health of wild salmon are not well understood. Of particular concern are the organophosphate and carbamate insecticides that block synaptic t...
