Título Dietary fat alteration of plasma cholinesterase response to malathion.
Información bibliográfica Sep. 1975, Vol.5, No.1, p.113-115. 4 ref.
Resumen Male rats were fed fat-free, normal-fat, and high-fat test diets. Sub-acute doses of malathion were given subcutaneously and cholinesterase levels were determined. Malathion was chosen because it is the least toxic of the organophosphate cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides. Statistical analysis of the data showed that malathion inhibits blood cholinesterase to the greatest degree in normal-fat diet animals, with the least effect on high-fat groups, and fat-free subjects fall in between the two groups. An impressive increase in plasma cholinesterase activity was induced by the fat-free diet prior to malathion dosing, an unexpected effect.
