Abstract excerpt
Detoxication of organophosphorus (OP) compounds is affected by genetic and environmental modulation of a number of enzymes involved in the process. For organophosphorothioate insecticides, different P450 isozymes and variants carry out two reactions that have quite different consequences; (1) they bioactivate their parent compounds to highly toxic oxon forms that are many times more toxic than the parent...
