Abstract:The toxicity of pesticides is correlated to the generation of free radicals, oxidative damage induction, increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) and interruption of the total antioxidant potential. The present study was undertaken to characterize the role of sublethal concentration (LC 50 ) of five selected insecticides (abamectin, emamectin benzoate, imidacloprid, indoxacarb and spinosad) on the oxidative stress and antioxidants in Callosobruchus maculatus (F.). The 24 h-LC 50 values of tested insecticides showed … Show more
