Placental oxidative status in rural residents environmentally exposed to organophosphates

Highlights • We studied placental oxidative status in rural residents and in a control group. • Placental carboxylesterase activity significantly decreased in pulverization period. • Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants showed no changes in pulverization period. • Catalase activity was inversely...

Summary:Highlights • We studied placental oxidative status in rural residents and in a control group. • Placental carboxylesterase activity significantly decreased in pulverization period. • Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants showed no changes in pulverization period. • Catalase activity was inversely associated to placental index in this period. • Placental catalase may serve as a potential biomarker of susceptibility to pesticides.
