To investigate the potential protective effect of C-phycocyanin (PC) on paraquat (PQ)-
induced acute lung injury, rats were divided into control, PQ-treated and PQ+ PC-treated …

It is well established that paraquat (PQ) poisoning can cause severe lung injury during the
early stages of exposure, finally leading to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. Connective tissue …

Multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1/solute carrier 47A1) mediates cellular transport of a
variety of structurally diverse compounds. Paraquat (PQ), which has been characterized in …

Aim: To investigate the effects of the PPAR-γ agonist rosiglitazone on acute lung injury
induced by the herbicide paraquat (PQ) and the underlying mechanisms of action. Methods …

Exposure to the herbicides Paraquat and Roundup® may cause cell lesions due to an
increase in oxidative stress levels in different biological systems, even in the liver. The aim of …

Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide, and lung is the primary target of PQ poisoning.
