Oxidative stress induced nephrotoxicity in chronic low dose organophosphates (OP) exposure

Introduction: There were significant epidemiological evidences that suggested the association of end-stage renal diseases of unknown aetiology with chronic pesticide exposure.Our previous assessment of renal tissues from Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to chronic low dose OP had found significant...
