Assessment of nephrotoxicity and histopathological lesions of albino rats exposure to DD-force and baygon insecticides

Although studies suggest adverse effects of pesticides, human exposure to insecticides in homes is increasing and reports on their health effects are limited. The study investigated nephrotoxic effects of organo phosphate and carbamate insecticides, DD-Force and Baygon, in albino rats. Forty-fiv...
