Abstract
A significant body of literature emphasizes the role of insecticide, particularly organophosphates (OPs), as the major environmental factor in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This review aims to study the relationship between OP insecticide exposure, cognitive impairment, and neurodegenerative disease development. Human populations, especially in developing countries, are frequently exposed to OPs due to their extensive applications. The involvement of various signaling pathways in OP neurotoxicity are reported, but the OP-induced cognitive impairment and link between OP exposure and the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases are not clearly understood. In the present review, we have therefore aimed to come to new conclusions which may help to find protective and preventive strategies against OP neurotoxicity and may establish a possible link between organophosphate exposure, cognitive impairment, and OP-induced neurotoxicity. Moreover, we discuss the findings obtained from animal and human research providing some support for OP-induced cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders.
期刊介绍:
Neurotoxicity Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based journal for reporting both basic and clinical research on classical neurotoxicity effects and mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration, necrosis, neuronal apoptosis, nerve regeneration, neurotrophin mechanisms, and topics related to these themes.
Published papers have focused on:
NEURODEGENERATION and INJURY
Neuropathologies
Neuronal apoptosis
Neuronal necrosis
Neural death processes (anatomical, histochemical, neurochemical)
Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neural Effects of Substances of Abuse
NERVE REGENERATION and RESPONSES TO INJURY
Neural Adaptations
Neurotrophin mechanisms and actions
NEURO(CYTO)TOXICITY PROCESSES and NEUROPROTECTION
Excitatory amino acids
Neurotoxins, endogenous and synthetic
Reactive oxygen (nitrogen) species
Neuroprotection by endogenous and exogenous agents
Papers on related themes are welcome.
