Immunotoxin effect of Lambda Cyhalothrin (LC) insecticide on mammalian macrophages

Abstract

Plants are affected by some different factors such as harmful weeds and insects, and depending on this situation, inefficiency and loss occur both in agricultural areas and production rates. In this context, although pesticides are frequently used in the fight against pests, they also have some positive and negative effects. Pesticides, which are used to reduce the existing effects of harmful factors, have toxic effects on both human health and the environment. Insecticides, on the other hand, are frequently used against insects, which are among the harmful factors, and are included in the pesticide groups. Pyrethroids are synthetically produced insecticides and contain more than 40 active ingredients, and lambda-cyhalothrin is one of these active ingredients. In this proceeding study we will review the toxic effect of lambda-cyhalothrin by specifically focusing on the immune system.
