Abstract
Treatment with diazinon (40 mg/kg, i. p.) resulted in depletion of glycogen and increased activities of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the brain of rats. The activity of glucose-o-phosphatase was not significantly changed. The level of lactic acid in the blood was raised, while that of pyruvic was not altered. The induced changes may be due to a compensatory mechanism providing extra energy on account of stimulatory effects in diazinon treated animals.
