[Effect of methyl parathion and zineb administration on the activity of some hepatic enzymes in rats].

Male albinos rats were fed diets containing parathion-methyl or Zineb so that the average daily intake is 1/10 or 1/20 lethal dose 50, for a period of 4 or 8 weeks. The activity of hepatic microsomal enzymes, namely :aminopyrine N-demethylase, BHT oxidase, aniline hydroxylase, Butter Yellow & Amaranth reductases, NADPH-cyt. c reductase, G6P phosphatase, were measured. The activities of G6P & 6PG deshydrogenases were also determined. With the application of the parathion-methyl doses, the only effect showed is the lowering of the microsomal protein concentration.
