Biochemical effects of some insecticides on lysosomal enzymes in brain tissue

The effect of dimethoate, permethrin and AC 222-705, on the activity of brain beta-glucuronidase, acid ribonuclease and alpha- naphthyl acetate esterases of male mice was investigated. The data indicated that, these insecticides induce disturbances in the activities of the tested lysosomal enzymes, which constitute important indices for carcinogenicity
