Safety Aspects in Treatment of Cancer by Carbamate Insecticides as Measured by Osmotic Fragility of Erythrocytes
Author(s): Mohammed Amanullah, Gaffar Sarwar Zaman and Naseem Begum
Cancer chemotherapy using carbamate insecticides has been published by the first author. This study was to evaluate their effects on other cell types because; pesticides and insecticides can affect the health of living organisms through different mechanisms such as membrane denaturation. The evaluation of the deleterious effects of chemical agents on biological membranes can be performed through the analysis of the stability of erythrocytes against a concentration gradient of certain chemical agent in physiologic saline solution. In the present study, technical grade carbamate insecticides viz., propoxur, carbaryl and carbofuran were tested for their toxicity on erythrocytes in vitro. Osmotic... view more»
