Environmental exposure to organophosphate pesticides: Assessment of endocrine disruption and hepatotoxicity in pregnant women

Adverse effects of organophosphorus pesticides on the liver: a brief summary of four decades of research

“…Several animal studies have pointed to the indirect effects of sub-lethal doses of phorate, fenitrothion, and dimethoate on urea and bilirubin (58,64,72). In humans occupationally exposed to a wide range of OPs, blood urea nitrogen and albumin along with serum aminotransferases are frequently elevated (30,73). Since, there are limited data about the hepatotoxicity of OPs in humans, it is not certain whether changes in biochemical parameters indicate actual liver damage.…”

Jenny Pronczuk de Garbino: A Global Champion for Children’s Health

“…The conference looked to the future while celebrating Pronczuk’s extraordinary achievements. The first Jenny Pronczuk Award for Research and Intervention in Children’s Environmental Health and Toxicology was awarded at the conference to Maria Gabriela Rovedatti and colleagues for their paper, “Impact of Pesticide Environmental Exposure in the Triad Mother–Placenta–Fetus and Preventive Actions,” subsequently published (Cecchi et al 2012). A report from the conference titled “Children’s Health in Latin America: The Influence of Environmental Exposures” (LaBorde et al 2015) is published in this issue of Environmental Health Perspectives .…”

Management of Collar Rot Disease Caused by Macrophomina phaseolina in Jatropha curcas - Green Diesel Plant

“…They are hepatotoxic [11], cause reproductive disorders [12] and immunosuppression [13]. Therefore, plant extracts can be novel antifungal agents as they are eco-friendly, indigenously available, non-phytotoxic, and can control or reduce the incidence of plant pathogens [14].…”
