Decreased Antioxidant Capacity in Corn Farmers Occupationally Exposed to the Mixture of Herbicides

Abstract

Background: The application of herbicides has been a common practice in worldwide agriculture, mainly with the goal to increase efficacy of weed control. So, most farmers faced a greater risk of herbicide exposure to develop adverse health effects from oxidative stress-induced herbicides. The aim of this study is to determine the urinary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and 8-isoprostane levels in farmers using the
