Potential threat of Chlorpyrifos to human liver cells via the caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathways

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) has been widely used around the world as a pesticide for both agricultural and residential application. Although various studies have reported toxicity and health-related effects from CPF exposure, the potential threat and the molecular mechanism of CPF toxicity to human liver hav...
