[Assessment of erythrocyte and serum cholinesterase activity in male rats treated with diazinon, and protective role of vitamin E]

ABSTRACT

Background: Diazinon [DZN] is an organophosphate [OP] that inhibit cholinesterase activity and induce oxidative stress in the target tissues such as the the reproductive system .The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of diazinon on cholinesterase activity in blood serum and erythrocytes of male rats and to assess the protective role of vitamin E.
