Objective: Environmental exposure to deltamethrin can cause alterations in structure and function of different organs. F. Trogii, a white-rot fungus, has antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase. It is hypothesized that there is an antioxidative role of F. trogii resulting in reducing the extent of heart injury as a result of oxidative stress. The aim of this study to investigate the effect of deltamethrin on heart and to evaluate possible protective role of F. trogii in alleviating the detrimental effect of deltamethrin on heart.
