Abstract:Background: Atrazine is a typical herbicide that has domestic and agricultural uses all over the world. A review of the literature, however, revealed evidence of its destructive effects on many human tissues and signaling networks. As such, this study explored the impact of crocin, a natural pigment, on reducing the liver damage caused by atrazine in primary rat hepatocytes. Methods: As biochemical cytotoxicity indicators, cell death, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generatio… Show more
