Abstract

Abstract The protective effects of physostigmine against the toxicity of parathion (diethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothionate) were examined in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Physostigmine (100 or 1,000 ㎎/㎏, ip) injected 30 min before decreased the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities in brain, lung and blood induced by parathion (2 ㎎/㎏, ip).(omitted)
