[Comparison of antioxidant properties of N- acetylcysteine and vitamins E and C on diazinon-induced oxidative stress in rat spleen]

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: Organophosphate insecticides such as diazinon [DZN] can disrupt the body's antioxidant defense system. Antioxidants protect cells against oxidative stress. In the present study, antioxidant properties of N- acetylcysteine [NAC] and vitamins E and C in reducing oxidative stress caused by DZN in rat spleen were compared
