Reproductive toxicity and meiotic dysfunction following exposure to the pesticides Maneb, Diazinon and Fenarimol

Reproductive toxicity and meiotic dysfunction following exposure to the pesticides Maneb, Diazinon and Fenarimol.

The comprehensive identification and mechanistic analysis of reproductive toxicants constitutes one of the major hurdles in the toxicological assessment of chemicals originating from the large number of chemicals to be tested and the difficulty in examining germ cells at various stages of their development. We previously described the development of an assay in the roundworm Caenorhabditis eleg...

Developmental exposure to the pesticides paraquat and maneb and the Parkinson's disease phenotype.

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with advanced age, but it is still unclear whether dopaminergic neuronal death results from events initiated during development, adulthood, or represents a cumulative effect across the span of life. This study hypothesized that paraquat (PQ) and maneb (MB) exposure during critical periods of development could permanently change the nigrostriatal...

Blood and tissue levels of diazinon in rabbit following a subacute dermal exposure to incremental doses

BACKGROUND:Uncontrolled application of diazinon (DZN)can cause environmental contamination and adverse healtheffects on humans or animals. OBJECTIVES:This study aimed toinvestigate the toxic effects and the level of DZN in serum andtissues of rabbits following a sub acute dermal exposure totoxicant. METHODS:Different doses of DZN were applied dailyto New Zealand rabbits through the ear skin in ...

Farmers’ Exposure to Pesticides: Toxicity Types and Ways of Prevention

Synthetic pesticides are extensively used in agriculture to control harmful pests and prevent crop yield losses or product damage. Because of high biological activity and, in certain cases, long persistence in the environment, pesticides may cause undesirable effects to human health and to the environment. Farmers are routinely exposed to high levels of pesticides, usually much greater than tho...
