Exposure to organophosphorus (OP) compounds can lead to serious neurological damage or death. Following bioactivation by the liver cytochromes P450, the OP metabolites produced are potent inhibitors of serine active-site enzymes including esterases, proteases and lipases. OPs may form adducts on other cellular proteins. Blood cholinesterases (ChEs) have long served as biomarkers of OP exposure in...
Organophosphorus (OP) compounds are still among the most widely used insecticides, and their main mechanism of acute toxicity is associated with inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Measurements of urine metabolites and of blood cholinesterase activity are established biomarkers of exposure to OPs and of early biological effects. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to biomarkers of...
