Monocrotophos is a highly toxic organophosphorus pesticide that has been confirmed to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical. To evaluate the influence of this pollutant on the reproductive system of male fish, we studied the sex steroid levels, reproductive traits, sex ratio

The mutations (G228S, A391T and F439W) and duplication of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene (Tuace) are involved in monocrotophos resistance in the two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae (Kwon et al., 2010a, b). The overexpression of T. urticae AChE (TuAChE) as a result of
An ultrasensitive amperometric acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor was fabricated by controlled immobilization of AChE on gold nanoparticles/poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) protected Prussian blue (Au-PDDA-PB) nanocomposite modified electrode surface for the detection of organophorous pesticide. The Au-PDDA-PB membrane served as an excellent matrix for
The present investigation provides mechanistic insights into the hyperglycemic and stressogenic effects of monocrotophos, an organophosphorus insecticide. Pre-treatment of rats with mifepristone (glucocorticoid receptor antagonist) prevented induction of liver tyrosine aminotransferase activity (TAT), but was ineffective in attenuating hyperglycemia induced

Regarding the metabolic fate of monocrotophos, it appears that the mechanisms summarized below are largely independent of the animal species. Furthermore, significant sex dependency of any of these parameters has not been found. ABSORPTION: After oral administration to rats and
