Abstract:
Paraquat which is used widely as a potent herbicide is poisonous, and its pathological mechanism is unclear. Studies show that it is so a strong oxidant that it can oxidate lipid and some enzyme, also, it can damage DNA directly or induce necrosis or apoptosis, which is marked in pulmonary. To offer new directions for treatment and studies on paraquat poisoning, this paper reviewed the foreign studies on mechanism of it.
