Abstract:
Male Wistar rats were injected by dimethoate (10 mg/0.5 ml) daily for 8 successive days. Controls received the same amount of saline., A group of 5 rats were anesthetized at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days of injection. Blood was withdrawn from heart. serum lipid components and 4 species of serum esterases were assayed for each group. A general decrease in the activities of serum esterases was observed. A marked decrease also was observed in lipids profile during the 8 days course of experiment.
