Abstract:The intraperitoneal (IP) treatment of rats with diazinon (40 mg/kg) resulted in a variety of changes in the brain. Glycogen was depleted, but there was an increase in the activities of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and fructose 1,6 diphosphatase. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was unaffected while that of cholinesterase was significantly reduced. Lactic acid content was increased, while that of pyruvate was not altered. Animals developed tremors and convu… Show more
