“…Exposure to agricultural pesticides can lead to the impairment of a set of essential functions, such as the inhibition of carboxyl ester hydrolases, chymotrypsin, acetylcholinesterase (AchE), butyrylcholinesterase, liver carboxylases, and paraoxonases (Abdollahi et al, 2004;Kampire et al, 2011;Sifuentes Dos Santos et al, 2015). Exposure may also cause, directly or indirectly, damage to the single-or double-stranded DNA by producing Reactive Oxygen Species, or ROS (Ceja Galvez et al, 2021;Franco et al, 2016;Godoy et al, 2014;Rohr et al, 2011;. Base Excision Repair (BER) is a fundamental pathway of repairing single-stranded DNA breaks, which may help to minimize this type of impact caused by pesticides (Ceja Galvez et al, 2021;de Oliveira et al, 2019).…”
