Abstract
The effect of systemic treatment of a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, fenvalerate (FV) was examined in adult female rats at different doses i.e. 5, 10, 20 mg/kg body weight by gavage for 21 consecutive days on regional brain levels of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA), their acid metabolites: dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) by HPLC-EC system. Our results demonstrate pronounced inhibition of NA, DA, HVA & DOPAC levels in several brain regions which were neither dose related nor region specific.Entities:
