Title Enzyme induction by repeated administration of tetrachlorvinphos in rats.
Bibliographic information Aug. 1976, Vol.37, No.2, p.377-386. 22 ref.
Abstract A single dose of 250 or 1,000mg/kg tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP - 2-chloro-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)vinyl dimethyl phosphate) inhibited erythrocyte cholinesterase (ChE) more than serum or brain ChE. Oral doses of 60 and 250mg/kg for 10 days produced dose-related increases in the activity of aminopyrine demethylase and EPN (O-ethyl O-(p-nitrophenyl) phenylphosphonothioate) detoxifiction enzyme. Relative liver weight first increased and then decreased. Repeated administration of TCVP induced the enzymes responsible for its metabolism up to 7-fold in microsomes and 1.2-fold in the supernatant.
