dc.description.abstract Pesticides are known to result in toxic insult. We aimed to evaluate Judo 40, the commercial formulation of chlorpyrifos on the neurological activities, fertility, and hormone levels of male rats. MaleWistarratsweretreatedorallywith1mLof20or50mg/kgJudo40. Thedoseswereadministered four times, twice a day. Sexual and exploratory behavior indices, fertility indices, serum androgen levels, bloodacetylcholinesterase(BChE)levels, andneurologicalandmusculare ectswereevaluated. Serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone were significantly reduced in the rats receiving 50 mg/kg Judo 40. A reduction in viable implantation sites and live pups born were evident in the female rats mated with the male rats treated with the highest dose. Similarly, in the rats treated with the highest dose of Judo 40, a significant reduction in plasma BChE enzyme was observed. According to the results, prolonged Judo 40 exposure can cause impairment of the neurological alterations and sex hormones leading to impaired fertility. Therefore, chemical handlers should be educated on protection and risk minimization. en_US
