Citotoxicity of Fipronil on Hepatocytes Isolated from Rat and Effects of Its Biotransformation

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanism of toxicity of fipronil on hepatocytes isolated from the rat and the effect of its biotransformation on the toxicological potential. The toxicity of fipronil was assessed by monitoring the oxygen consumption and mitochondrial membrane...
