Effect of three organophosphates on respiration in rat brain and liver tissue.
The effects of three organophosphate pesticides, i.e. monocrotophos, dichlorvos, and phosphamidon on respiration in rat brain and liver tissue slices have been studied. Among these pesticides dichlorvos causes significant inhibition of respiration both in brain and liver.
