Abstract

A sexual dimorphism in terbufos (S-t-butylthiomethyl-O,O-diethyl phosphorodithioate: TBF) toxicity was not reported and remains unclear. Previously. we reported that TBF treatment showed sexual dimorphic effects on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity. We further investigated that sexual dimorphism of TBF was affected to age and brain-regional selectivity, and whether ovary plays an important role in the effect. (omitted)
