The role of oxidative stress in organophosphate and nerve agent toxicity

Organophosphate (OP) nerve agents exert their toxicity through inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. The excessive stimulation of cholinergic receptors rapidly causes neuronal damage, seizures, death, and long‐term neurological impairment in those that survive. Owing to the lethality of organophosphor...
