Allethrin-induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice

► Allethrin has genotoxic potential in Swiss albino mice bone marrow cells. ► Allethrin induces significant oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice. ► Exposure of allethrin to Swiss albino mice caused upregulation of all four DNA damage responsive genes/proteins (p53, p21, GADD45α, and MDM2) in liver.
