title: [The effect of carbaryl poisoning on noradrenaline (NA) levels in rat brain].
abstract: The influence of acute (50% and 20% LD50), subacute (10% LB50) and 12-week (5% LD50) intoxication with carbaryl on NA level in rat brain was investigated. The level of NA was decreased by about 40% of the control level (p > 0.001) after acute and subacute intoxication. In the subchronic study (5% LD50 for 12 weeks) carbaryl significantly decreased the NA level (p < 0.001), but after 2-week intoxication only. During the next weeks NA content remained on control level (p > 0.05). These results indicate that carbaryl causes noradrenergic alterations in rat brain, which may lead to neurotoxic action.
