One of the most environmental and industrial pollutants that are toxic to humans, animals, fishes,
and birds. The most common sources of human and animal exposure to deltamethrin (DM) are
polluted water and food. This study was done to evaluate the nephrohepatic toxicity of
deltamethrin. Twenty-four female rats were used. The first group used as control. The second
and third groups givens deltamethrin orally in dose of 1/10 % of the LD50 equal to 0.6mg\kg bw
alone and plus Royal Jelly (RJ) at dose of 100 mg/kg/day for two month, respectively. Oral
administration of DM induced biochemical and histopathological alterations. DM toxicity
exhibited changes in the liver and kidney function tests manifested by increase AST, ALT, urea,
uric acid, and creatinine with no changes were noticed in plasma proteins when compared to
control group. Giving RJ ameliorated the hepatorenal toxicity by causing recovery in both liver
and kidney functions in comparison to DM given group. Pathologically, severe degenerative and
necrotic changes in livers and kidneys showed in deltamethrin group, where it improved to
moderate to mild lesions by protective royal gel substance. This study concluded that royal gel
substance has been shown benefit in lower down the side effects and increasing the rate of
improvement of injury induced by of Deltamethrin.
