Whereas a very small amount of pesticides which are used for elimination of undesirable species
and for a more fertile agriculture reach the target organism, majority of pesticides reach to nontarget organisms. It is
foreseen by our team that the pesticides used for various purposes may negatively affect the glutathione mechanism
of the organisms. However, determination of effective dosage range is the objective of our study subjects. For this
reason, the in vitro effects of widely used pesticides (lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos,
glyphosate isopropylamine) on the activities of glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione S-transferase
(GST) which are two important enzymes of the glutathione system have been investigated in this study. It has
been determined that when lambda-cyhalothrin does not affect the GR enzyme purified from the turkey liver,
chlorpyrifos, glyphosate isopropylamine, dichlorvos and cypermethrin cause inhibition. When the effects of
pesticides on GST enzyme purified from turkey liver were investigated in in vitro conditions, it was determined
that all examined pesticides had inhibitory effects. In this context, the potential doses which can create a risk for
live life, of pesticides that are commonly used, have been identified.
