ABSTRACT
Pyrethroids prallethrin (P-BI) and transfluthrin (T-BI) are among the most commonly used molecules with insecticide action. These molecules comprise different formulations of insecticides largely used in household, agricultural, and animal production fields. However, the increased use of these molecules has led to concerns regarding their safety in animals and humans. Oxidative stress (OS) is believed to be easily established by xenobiotic contacts, such as pyrethroids. We aimed to evaluate and understand the impact of two household insecticides and two doses applied to different tissues of the antioxidant system of zebrafish (Danio rerio). We observed that the effect on the antioxidant system differed between tissues. The muscle was the most affected tissue in the body, the antioxidant enzymes were activated, and a mechanism of non-enzymatic antioxidants was activated; however, it could still cause cellular damage. The observed effect on muscle may be related to the progression of neurodegenerative conditions. In addition, in the brain, these compounds can inactivate the first line of enzymatic antioxidant defense, which is compensated for by the second line, avoiding cellular damage. Ultimately, the gill tissue did not appear to suffer lipid damage, but heme group formation was largely affected by the compounds.
