Abstract:Introduction: Chronic exposure of organophosphate pesticides is an oxidative stress that causes liver and aortic damage. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a biological marker of oxidative damage to cell lipids membrane. The liver produces insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which stimulates the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to produce vascular nitric oxide (NO). Children who are living in those area may be exposed to pesticide chronically. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between serum MDA and N… Show more
