Chlorpyrifos (O,O'‐diethyl‐O‐3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridyl phosphorothionate, CPF) is a broad spectrum organophosphate pesticide used to control a variety of pests. The present study was undertaken to test the in vivo genotoxic potential of CPF in rats, using the single cell gel electrophoresis (or comet) assay. The rats were administered 50 mg and 100 mg CPF/kg body weight daily for 1, 2, and 3 days as well as 1.12 mg and 2.24 mg CPF/kg body weight for 90 days. The level of DNA damage was…

Results showed that lymphocytes treated with the pesticide exhibited increased DNA damage but the increase was statistically insignificant while in rats pretreated with OE, a significant increase in MI was observed and there was a significant decrease in the frequency of aberrant cells as compared to the rats treated with chlorpyrifos alone.
