| dc.description.abstract | Pyrethroids are pesticides very used in agriculture, which tend to replace organophosfate and carbamate insecticides. These pesticides have shown to exhibit cardiotoxicity. The aim of this study was to assess if cardiotoxicity is due to direct or indirect effects (metabolites) of permethrin on hearts. There were studies 8 rats; three of them were sacrificed after 24 of the end of treatment with permethrin and the other four were sacrificed after 14 days of the end of treatment. Afterwards hearts and urines were collected. The amounts of permethrin and its main metabolite (3-PBA) were evaluated on hearts and urines of female rats which were treated with permethrin and sacrificed the day after and 14 days after the treatment. Moreover has been highlighted the difference of amount of permethrin and its metabolite between rats sacrificed immediately at the end of treatment and those sacrificed after 14 days. The study of permethrin was accomplished by liquid-liquid extraction and GC-ECD. The evaluation of 3-PBA was performed by SPE procedure with 2-PBA as internal standard and gas-chromatography GC-MS. The concentration of permethrin in hearts is basically the same in 24h and 14 days. The 3-PBA concentration in urines decreased 50 times from 24h to 14 days. In hearts the 3-PBA level also decrease but only 2.24 times and a high variation of results were achieved in rats after 14 days. | pt_PT |
