Paraquat-induced cholesterol biosynthesis proteins dysregulation in human brain microvascular endothelial cells

Abstract Despite Paraquat (PQ) being banned in several countries, it is still one of the most commonly used herbicides in agriculture. This compound is known to induce damaging effects on human and animal brain cells by generating Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). However, there is few evidence of PQ e...
