Effect of progesterone on phosphamidon-induced impairment of memory and oxidative stress in rats

Progesterone (a neurosteroid) is an important modulator of the nervous system functioning. Organophosphorus pesticides like phosphamidon have been shown to adversely affect memory and induce oxidative stress on both acute and chronic exposure.
