title: [Effects of diethyldithiocarbamate on the acute toxicity and the acetylcholinesterase inhibition by methylparathion in mice].
abstract: Acute toxicity of methylparathion male mice is reduced by DET in dose-range from 50 to 300 mg/kg. Mean survival time in LD100 range of methylparathion is significantly prolonged. Inhibition of AChE in vivo is reduced, too. The observed dose-effect-relations show an approx. 10-fold increase in equi-effective doses after DET-pretreatment. DET has no protective effect both in vivo and in vitro, if methylparathion is added to the brain homogenate of mice. As probable mechanism of action a change in methylparathion-metabolism induced by DET in the system of mixed functional oxidases is discussed.
