Metabolism of Organophosphate Esters in Animals | Toxicology

After reading this article you will learn about the metabolism of organophosphate esters in animals. Most of the phosphate insecticides are decomposed and excreted rapidly by mammals. Water soluble excretion products are excreted mainly through urine while excretion with the feces is very less. In mammal body toxically active cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors are formed by oxidation to the 0-analog of [...]
