Morbidity in newborns exposed to organophosphorus pesticides
Introduction. Insecticides are toxines by which we destroy harmful insects. The most frequent insecticides which are used today are organophosphorus pesticides. This group of compounds make substances whose activity mechanism is based on the inhibition of acetylcho?linesterase in nerve synapsis, thus producing holynergic syndrome, resulting

Organophosphorus Pesticides Promote Protein Cross-Linking. [PDF]
[Image: see text] Exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OP) can have chronic adverse effects that are independent of inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the classic target for acute OP toxicity.

Lysozyme-sensitive bioemulsifier for immiscible organophosphorus pesticides [PDF]
Two Bacillus strains capable of emulsifying immiscible organophosphorus pesticides were isolated by enrichment methods. The emulsifying factor produced by Bacillus strain FE-2 has a high molecular weight, is Iysozyme sensitive and thermostable, and can ...
