Herbicides are the largest class of pesticides used in the world today and so their harmful effects can be witnessed in both agriculture and on humans. In the present study the pharmacological measures have been evaluated on the mice by treating it with oxyfluorfen
herbicide. The adverse effects were showed up in mice after it being injected with this herbicide. In the treated group the estrous cycle and histological assessment along with some biochemical assays were studied. There was irregularity in the reproductive cycle of the mice. The histological observation was done in the ovary, liver and adrenal. All of these organs had changes compared to control group. The lipid profile also shown alterations along with thyroid and steroid harmone profile.
