The Evaluation Of The Toxic Effect Of Paraquat And Its Mechanism Of Action On Reproductive System Of Male Rats [RA1242.P34 A636 2007 f rb].

Abstract

Paraquat® - PQ (1,1’ – dimethyl 4,4’ – bipyridillium dichloride) is a nonselective contact herbicide. Its herbicidal and toxicological properties are dependent on the ability of the parent cation to undergo a single electron addition to form a free radical. Paraquat® (1,1’ – dimetil 4,4’ – bipiridilium diklorida) merupakan sejenis racun herbisid bukan selektif. Kesan herbisid dan toksikologinya bergantung kepada keupayaan kompoun utamanya untuk mengubah kepada elekron tunggal dan membentuk radikal bebas.
