Honey has a protective effect against chlorpyrifos-induced toxicity on lipid peroxidation, diagnostic markers and hepatic histoarchitecture
Introduction Currently, there is increasing interest in the identification of natural sources of
antioxidants that have minimal side effects and can be used as preventive medicine. In this
study, the protective role of honey against oxidative damage and hepatotoxicity induced by
sub-chronic exposure to chlorpyrifos (CPF) was investigated. Methods Female Wistar rats
(n= 24) were randomly divided into the following four groups:(1) control,(2) honey-treated
(3.0 g/kg),(3) CPF-treated (5.4 mg/kg) and (4) honey (3.0 g/kg)+ CPF (5.4 mg/kg) treatments …
