Abstract
⺠Hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemic effects of chlorpyrifos in rats were investigated. ⺠A single chlorpyrifos administration caused hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in rats. ⺠Chlorpyrifos increased corticosterone levels and gluconeogenic enzyme activities. ⺠Gluconeogenesis pathway is involved in the hyperglycemic effect of chlorpyrifos. ⺠Chlorpyrifos increased triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels.
