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

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
Several recent studies have demonstrated that organophosphorus insecticides (OPI) possess the potential to disrupt glucose homeostasis leading to hyperglycemia in experimental animals. The propensity of OPI to induce hyperglycemia along with oxidative stress may have far-reaching consequences on diabetic outcomes
The morbidity and mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases are increasing massively worldwide. The environmental pollutants especially agrochemicals are the most unrecognized cardiovascular risk factors. Monocrotophos (MCP), an organophosphate pesticide with acetylcholine esterase inhibition activity is widely used in India and
Reviews of environmental contamination and toxicology, 139, 59-65 (1994-01-01)
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
