Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insect RDL (resistant to dieldrin) receptors are essential pentameric ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate the neuroinhibitory effect of GABA, the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. These receptors serve as primary targets for various insecticides, including noncompetitive antagonists (NCAs) such as cyclodiene organochlorines and phenylpyrazoles, as well as...
