Neuro-protective potentials of N-acetylcysteine and zinc against di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate-induced neuro-histopathology and dys-regulations of Dopamine and Glutamate in rat brain.

This study examined neuro-protective potentials of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Zinc on expression levels of Dopamine and Glutamate in the Cerebrum, Hypothalami and Pituitary Glands in Di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP)-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 6). Group 1 was control.
