Neuropsychiatric Evaluation in Subjects Chronically Exposed to Organophosphate Pesticides

TL;DR: The need for parameters other than acetylcholinesterase activity to monitor for chronic consequences of chronic low-dose OP exposure is reinforced, and it suggests that subjects have not only transient motor and psychiatric consequences while exposed, but may also develop enduring extrapyramidal symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of an ATP diphosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.5) in synaptosomes from cerebral cortex of adult rats.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that synaptosomal preparations obtained from the cerebral cortex of rats show ATPase activity that could not be dissociated from ADPase activity, suggesting that an ATP-diphosphohydrolase is involved in ATP and ADP hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in spatio-temporal behavior of zebrafish in the open tank paradigm after a short-period confinement into dark and bright environments.

TL;DR: An alternative methodological approach for assessing the zebrafish behavior after a forced exposure to different environments is described and the analysis of ethologically-relevant patterns across time could be a potential phenotyping tool to evaluate theZebrafish exploratory profile in the open tank task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral effects of taurine pretreatment in zebrafish acutely exposed to ethanol.

TL;DR: The data suggest that both protocols of acute EtOH exposure induce significant changes in the spatio-temporal behavior of zebrafish and that TAU may exert a preventive role by antagonizing the effects induced by EtOH possibly due to its neuromodulatory role and also by decreasing brain EtOH levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATP diphosphohydrolase activity (apyrase, EC 3.6.1.5) in human blood platelets.

TL;DR: ATP diphosphohydrolase from human platelets may be involved in the modulation of nucleotide concentration in the circulation and thus in vascular tonus and the competition plot presented suggest that ATP and ADP hydrolysis occurs at the same active site.
