Article Synopsis
- Exposure to the pesticide Mancozeb (MZ) poses significant public health risks, causing various negative effects such as hormonal, behavioral, and neurodegenerative issues linked to oxidative stress.
- * This study tested the protective effects of Vitamin D on male and female Wistar rats exposed to MZ, finding that MZ increased manganese levels in certain brain regions and caused behavioral changes, particularly in females.
- * Administration of Vitamin D successfully mitigated the damage from MZ, suggesting its potential as a neuroprotective agent against pesticide-related brain impairments.
