Abstract:The extensive use of chemical compounds in agriculture has been related to the occupational exposure of farmers, in addition to environmental degradation and contamination. Such factors can potentiate the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant compounds, thus allowing the excessive production of reactive oxygen species, which can damage biomolecules and lead to various diseases, including Alzheimer's and cancer. To correlate the toxic effects with exposure to pesticides, oxidative stress biomarkers have bec… Show more
