Abstract

Cyhalthrin (cy) is pyrethroid pesticidde used gloally to control pests in farming and inside homes. Cleome droserifolia extraction (Cd) is a potential antioxidant that protects tissue from oxidative damage. The current study looks at the antioxidant properties of cd on Cy-caused oxidative harm in rats. A group of 20 male Wistar rats were separated among 4 distinct groups; Group I acted as the control;
