Permethrin and deltamethrin are insecticides used all over the world in agriculture to control pests. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of subcutaneous permethrin and/or deltamethrin treatments on erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes activity in rats of different sex. The results obtained show that permethrin decreases SOD and GPx activity in female rats, while it increases SOD activity in male rats. Deltamethrin treatment reduces GPx activity in male rats, while permethrin has a similar effect but only for short time treatments. A catalase activity decrease was observed in both sexes following pyrethroid treatment but when both the pyrethroids were administrated in male rats, the enzyme activity has increased.In conclusion, this study points out for the first time the importance of rat gender on erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, which are influenced not only by the length and the type of insecticide treatment but importantly by sex.
