Deltamethrin-Induced Hepatotoxicity and Virgin Olive Oil Consumption: An Experimental Study

摘要

Background:Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which can lead to pathological effects in mammals through oxidative stress. On the other hand, virgin olive oil (VOO) is a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidants. The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effects of VOO against DM-induced hepatotoxicity.
