EFFECT OF PRALLETHRIN VAPOURS ON CEREBELLAR CORTEX OF ALBINO RATS: A NEUROHISTOLOGICAL STUDY
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The Prallethrin is a synthetic form of natural Pyrethrin and due to their highly insecticidal properties has achieved widespread agricultural and environmental health applications. This is commonly used as mosquito repellent in most houses throughout the year, especially during night exposing the adults and children to its vapour. Methods: Adult male Charles Foster rats were exposed to 3.2%w/v of prallethrin for 12hrs daily for a period of 90 days. Results: Neurohistological examination showed that inhalation of Prallethrin based mosquito repellent can hamper the precise patterned arrangement of the cerebellar cortex. Discussion: It was concluded that prolonged exposure to the prallethrin vapours are neurotoxic and one should be cautious, while using it.
