Picolinafen exposure induces ROS accumulation and calcium depletion, leading to apoptosis in porcine embryonic trophectoderm and uterine luminal epithelial cells
Abstract:The global use of herbicides accounts for more than 48% of total pesticide usage. Picolinafen is a pyridine carboxylic acid herbicide that is predominantly used to control broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, corn, and soybeans. Despite its widespread use in agriculture, its toxicity in mammals has rarely been studied. In this study, we first identified the cytotoxic effects of picolinafen on porcine trophectoderm (pTr) and luminal epithelial (pLE) cells, which are involved in the implantation process during earl… Show more
