Abstract

An organophosphate pesticide terbufos (S-t-butylthiomethyl-O.O-diethyl phosphorodithioate; TBF) has been extensively used as an insecticide. A sexual dimorphism in TBF toxicity was not reported and remains unclear. Objective of the work is to investigate the influence of TBF on sexual dimorphism in rats by using acethlcholinesterase (AchE). (omitted)
