Introduction: Cypermethrin causes its neurotoxic effect through voltage-dependent sodium channels and integral protein ATPases in the neuronal membrane. Brain and nerve damage are often associated with low residual level of pesticides. In vitro and in vivo studies have also shown that pesticides cause free radical-mediated tissue damage in brain. Propolis has antioxidant properties. The main ch...

Evidence suggests that there are separate binding domains for type I and II pyrethroid insecticides on the voltage gated sodium channel of the nerve cell axon, but there are no studies that have examined the mixture toxicity of nonester pyrethroids and type I and II pyrethroids. Therefore, we examined the effect of nonester pyrethroid (etofenprox), type I (permethrin), and type II (cypermethrin...

Rhizoremediation is the use of plant-microbe interaction for the enhanced degradation of contaminants. Rhizosphere bioremediation of pyrethroid pesticides will offer an attractive and potentially inexpensive approach for remediation of contaminated soil. The present study was done with the aim of establishment of highly effective remediation method using plant with degradative rhizosphere and i...

Cypermethrin, a class II pyrethroid pesticide, is used to control insects in the household and agricultural fields. Despite beneficial roles, its uncontrolled and repetitive applications lead to unintended effects in non-target organisms. Cypermethrin crosses the blood-brain barrier and induces neurotoxicity and motor deficits. Cypermethrin prolongs the opening of sodium channel, a major site o...

 Cypermethrin is a potential toxic pollutant that directly threatens the aquatic ecosystems and environment. Propolis, a natural product collected from plants by honey bees has many functions, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. This study attempted to detrmine some biochemical and microbiological parameters of rainbow trout fillets after exposure to propolis an...

Effects of Cypermethrin and their reversal by Leucoverin following oral administration were evaluated in mice. Mature male swiss mice were orally administered cypermethrin (15 mg/kg body wt), leucoverin (50mg/kg body wt) or both daily for 4 weeks. At the end of fourth week, hematological & serum biochemical were studied. Subchronic exposure to cypermethrin significantly reduced, when the co-con...

Five synthetic pyrethroids, deltamethrin, cypermethrin, permethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, and lambdacyhalothrin, were tested on the larvae of 2 morphological variants of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus collected from Mysore City (ground pools) and outside Mysore (paddy fields), in Karnataka State, India. The morphological characters, ie, length and width of siphon, siphonal index, comb scale numbers, pecte...

Article history: Received on: 08/11/2012 Revised on: 29/11/2012 Accepted on: 15/12/2012 Available online: 28/01/2013 In this study, assessment of the potential effect of cypermethrin-treated lettuce on the rat liver physiology is carried out. Cypermethrin-treated lettuce and three doses of cypermethrin (CY) were administered during 28 days to rats. Along the experimental period, animal behavior...

The influence of trace metals (Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+) and Fe(2+)) on the photodegradation of α-cypermethrin (α-CYM) in agricultural soil was studied. The soil samples were spiked with α-cypermethrin with/without the presence of metal ions, irradiated under a UV irradiation chamber for a regular period of time and analyzed by using HPLC. The dark control sterile and unsterile soil samples spiked...
