Comparative studies on chlorpyrifos and methyl parathion induced oxidative stress in different parts of rat brain: Attenuation by antioxidant vitamins
چکیده انگلیسی

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are among the most widely used synthetic chemicals for controlling a wide variety of pests. Chlorpyrifos (o,o′-diethyl-o-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothionate, CPF) is among the leading OP pesticides used extensively throughout the world including India while methyl parathion (o,o-di methyl-o-p-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, MPT) another OP compound, widely used as insecticide and acaricide to control many biting or sucking pests of agricultural crops. Present study was carried out to compare the chronic toxicity of CPF and MPT, their potential to generate oxidative stress and ameliorating effects of antioxidant vitamins in brain of rats. Results of the present study clearly demonstrated that the oral exposure of CPF or MPT, generated oxidative stress in different parts of rat brain consequently accumulating malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonanal (4HNE), the two major end products of lipid peroxidation, in all the three brain regions i.e. fore-, mid- and hind-brain. The levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were also increased in all the three brain regions when compared with control. CPF and MPT exposure caused decrease in the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and increase in the levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in all the three brain regions. The increase in the levels of MDA, 4HNE, H2O2 and GSSG was less pronounced when CPF or MPT was given to the rats fed with a mixture of vitamin A, E and C. The present findings clearly show that oral intake of a mixture of vitamin A, E and C protects the rats from MPT or CPF induced oxidative stress and suggest that this treatment alleviates the toxicity of these pesticides to a greater extent.
