Sub-acute deltamethrin and fluoride toxicity induced hepatic oxidative stress and biochemical alterations in rats

Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2013 Sep;91(3):334-8. doi: 10.1007/s00128-013-1052-1. Epub 2013 Jul 3.

Abstract

The current study investigated the effects of deltamethrin, fluoride (F(-)) and their combination on the hepatic oxidative stress and consequent alterations in blood biochemical markers of hepatic damage in rats. Significant hepatic oxidative stress and hepatic damage were observed in the toxicant exposed groups. These changes were higher in the deltamethrin-F(-) co-exposure treatment group, depicting a positive interaction between the two chemicals.
