Abstract excerpt
Diazinon is the only organophosphorus insecticide that is currently approved for use in sheep dip in the UK. Reports that some individuals may be genetically more susceptible to possible chronic adverse health effects, due to variations in PON1 activity, are complicated by the reliability of activity measurements. In the present study, the influence of three polymorphisms of PON1 on serum diazoxonase activity was...
