Effect of Paraoxon on the Oxidative Stress Indices and Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Rat Liver

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Paraoxon (active metabolite of parathion) is one of the most toxic organophosphate (OP) compounds. Acetyl cholinesterase inhibition is the main acute toxic mechanisms of OPs. Free radicals production and disruption of antioxidant defense systems is one of non-cholinergic ef...

The level of glutathione significantly decreased in all doses of paraoxon. Paraoxon in all treatments induced significant increase in plasma LDH activity and decrease in liver LDH activity.
