[Effect of chlorofos on oxygen uptake in rabbit placenta].

Pregnant rabbit females were subjected to daily peroral administration to chlorofos in a dose of 50 and 75 mg per 1 kg of mass for 24 h. It is found to produce an essential effect on oxygen uptake and glycolysis in the placenta tissue. The detected changes expressed in decreased intensity of endogenic respiration and an increased glycolytic activity of the placenta tissue evidence for disturbance in the organ functional state.
