Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

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.
