Manganese suppresses oxidative stress, inflammation and caspase-3 activation in rats exposed to chlorpyrifos
The present study investigated the individual and combined impact of organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) and manganese (Mn), a naturally occurring trace metal, on hepatorenal function in adult rats. The four experimental groups namely control, CPF alone (5 mg/kg), Mn alone (10 mg/kg) and t...
