Doctoral Dissertation at the University of Basrah Explores the Effects of Sulfa Drug on Cypermethrin Toxicity
The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Basrah discussed a doctoral dissertation that examined the toxic effects of the pesticide Cypermethrin on certain vital organs in male domestic pigeons, as well as the effectiveness of a newly synthesized sulfa drug derivative in mitigating those effects.
The dissertation, presented by researcher Ansam Saleh Abdulqader, aimed to investigate the histological, histochemical, and morphological changes resulting from Cypermethrin toxicity, in addition to synthesizing a new sulfa derivative and evaluating its therapeutic potential.
The findings revealed that Cypermethrin caused significant histological damage in the liver, brain, stomach, kidneys, pancreas, and testes. However, the newly synthesized derivative contributed to improving tissue structure and reducing oxidative damage, suggesting its potential as a promising treatment for pesticide poisoning.
