Modulations in ionic composition and ATPase system in the brain of albino rat under induced propoxur toxicity.
Modulations in ionic composition were seen in the rat brain during propoxur treatment indicating an impairment in the electric activity of neurons, oxygen consumption, ATPase system, disruption in the movement of ions across ionic pumps and synaptic transmission. The specific activity levels of ATPases were also altered confirming that the impairment in the ATPase system might be due to the ionic imbalances under propoxur stress.
