Título Urinary excretion of diethylphosphorus metabolites in persons poisoned by quinalphos or chlorpyrifos
Información bibliográfica May 1992, Vol.22, No.4, p.351-357. Illus. 21 ref.
Resumen The urinary excretion rates of diethylphosphorus metabolites and changes in blood cholinesterase activities, as indicators of pesticide absorption and retention in the body, were studied in 15 persons poisoned either by the organophosphorus pesticides quinalphos or chlorpyrifos. The organophosphate poisoning was always indicated by a significant depression of serum and/or red blood cell cholinesterase activities. The return of serum cholinesterase activity to the range of referent values took more than 30 days and had a different course in different persons. Enzyme activity was affected not only by the amount of pesticide absorbed but also by its retention in the body which, according to the differences in excretion rate of urinary diethylphosphorus metabolites in the patients, was different in different groups of persons.
