Effects of Long Exposure to Low Dose of Chlorpyrifos on Total Cholesterol Levels in Wistar Rats

Prolonged exposure to chlorpyrifos, a commonly used pesticide, can lead to pesticide residues on fruits and alter metabolic processes in the body. This study aims to examine the effect of prolonged low dose chlorpyrifos exposure on total cholesterol levels in wistar rats. A posttest-only randomized control group design was employed. 30 wistar rats were assigned to one of five groups: a normal control group (KN) and four groups exposed to low dose chlorpyrifos for 7 days (K1), 14 days (K2), 28 days (K3), and 56 days (K4). This research was conducted from February to May 2023 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. The results from the LSD post hoc test show significant differences between the normal control group and the K1 and K2 exposure groups. Moreover, significant differences were observed between the K3 exposure group and the K1 and K2 exposure groups, as well as between the K3 exposure group and the K2 exposure groups. In conclusion, exposure to low chlorpyrifos doses significantly increases total cholesterol levels at 7 and 14 days, followed by a decrease at 28 days and a subsequent increase at 56 days of exposure. Keywords: Insecticide, pesticide, organophosphate, cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Prolonged exposure to chlorpyrifos, a commonly used pesticide, can lead to pesticide residues on fruits and alter metabolic processes in the body. This study aims to examine the effect of prolonged low dose chlorpyrifos exposure on total cholesterol levels in wistar rats. A posttest-only randomized control group design was employed. 30 wistar rats were assigned to one of five groups: a normal control group (KN) and four groups exposed to low dose chlorpyrifos for 7 days (K1), 14 days (K2), 28 days (K3), and 56 days (K4). This research was conducted from February to May 2023 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. The results from the LSD post hoc test show significant differences between the normal control group and the K1 and K2 exposure groups. Moreover, significant differences were observed between the K3 exposure group and the K1 and K2 exposure groups, as well as between the K3 exposure group and the K2 exposure groups. In conclusion, exposure to low chlorpyrifos doses significantly increases total cholesterol levels at 7 and 14 days, followed by a decrease at 28 days and a subsequent increase at 56 days of exposure.
