Abstract:
The effect of benthiocarb, an organocarbamate herbicide, on the ionic profiles of the developing central nervous system of rat has been studied. The ionic profiles altered by benthiocarb toxicity indicate possible perturbations in the electric activity of neurons, in oxygen consumption, and in the ATPase system, as well as disruption in the movement of ions across ionic pumps and impairment of synaptic transmission.
