Abstract excerpt
Environmental xenobiotics such as organophosphate pesticides are known factors involved in male infertility. Paraoxanase (PON) and glutathione transferase (GST) are involved in biotransformation of organophosphate pesticides. Interindividual genetic variations in biotransformation enzyme activities can lead to differences in the susceptibility to male infertility. This case-control study investigated associations...
