Extra-pulmonary oxidative stress investigations of an over-the-counter pyrethroid insecticide product in rats

Extra-pulmonary  oxidative  stress  investigations  of  exposure  to  aerosol,  of  an  over-the-counter pyrethroid  insecticide  product  in  Nigeria  in  Wistar  rats  were  carried  out.  Four  groups  of  five  animals each  were  used  in  this  study,  and  were  exposed  to  different  concentrations  of  the  insecticide  aerosol. Malondialdehyde  (MDA)  and  reduced  glutathione  (GSH)  concentrations  were  determined  in  the  liver, kidney  and  testes,  while  the  activities  of  catalase  (CAT),  superoxide  dismutase  (SOD),  glutathione peroxidase  (GPx)  and  glutathione  S-transferase  (GST)  were  determined  in  liver  only.  Liver,  kidney  and testes  showed  no  significant  difference  in  their  weights  and  relative  weights  when  compared  with control,  except  groups  II  and  III  where  significant  increase  in  liver  weight  was  recorded.  There  was  no significant  increase  in  liver,  kidney  and  testis  MDA  concentration  when  compared  with  the  control. There  was  significant  decrease  in  testis  GSH  for  all  groups,  while  significant  increase  was  seen  in groups  III  and  IV  for  kidney  GSH  and  group  II  only  for  liver  GSH.  The  activities  of  liver  CAT,  SOD,  GST and  GPx  were  reduced,  but  showed  no  significant  difference  when  compared  with  the  control.  Our investigations  therefore  reveal  that  the  compositions  of  the  pyrethroid  insecticide  product  may  not  play any  role  in  extra-pulmonary  tissue  oxidative  damage.
