Raina R, Srivastava AK, Malik JK: The influence of repeated oral administration of dichlorvos on circulating esterases in buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis). Vet Hum Toxicol. 1990 Dec;32(6):577-9. Alterations in circulating esterases induced by dichlorvos and their reversibility were investigated in male buffalo calves. Changes in blood glucose and total plasma proteins were also monitored. Animals received 4 or 8 mg dichlorvos/kg/day po for 28 consecutive d. Dichlorvos caused dose- and time- dependent significant (P less than 0.01) inactivation of blood esterases. Maximal inhibition of plasma cholinesterase (87-94%) and serum carboxylesterase (51-67%) was observed on the 28th day. An increase in blood glucose and total plasma proteins occurred during the dosing period; these parameters returned to control values in surviving animals within 7 d after the final dose. Activities of esterases returned to 45-70% of normal the 14th d after cessation of dichlorvos dosing. |
