  1. Note: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; m, multiplet. Changes are relative to control samples: “-”, no change; “↓”, decrease; “↑”, increase. The integral values for each segmented region of chemical shift were represented for each metabolite resonance. One-way ANOVA was used to assess for statistical significance of the integral values of assigned spectral peaks among the groups. * p < 0.05, compared with the control. Abbreviations: 2-OG, 2-oxoglutarate; 3-HB, 3-hydroxybutyric acid; NAC, N-acetyl-L-cysteine; CYP, cypermethrin; DIM, dimethoate; DZN, diazinon; MIX, mixture of CYP, DIM, and DZN.
