The hypothesis that organophosphate (OP) insecticides reduce the NAD+ levels of chick embryos by inhibiting kynurenine formamidase was tested.
Fertile chicken eggs at 3 days of incubation were treated with a teratogenic dose of the organophosphate insecticide diazinon (DZN) in the presence or absence of exogenous L-tryptophan or nicotinamide, or one of the metabolic intermediates (L-kynurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, quinolinic acid) between tryptophan and NAD+.
