Abstract: | The biochemical process by which various pyrethroid insecticides affect membrane-bound ATPase activities of the squid nervous system was examined. Of the five ATP-hydrolyzing systems tested, only Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities are seen to be clearly affected by pyrethroids. It was found that the “natural type” pyrethroids (e.g., pyrethrin and allethrin) primarily inhibit Ca-ATPase activity whereas the “highly modified type” pyrethroids (e.g., cypermethrin and decamethrin) mainly inhibit Ca + Mg-ATPase. permethrin, which is considered to possess structural similarities to both the natural type and the highly modified type pyrethroids, was found to have an intermediate property in terms of its inhibitory potency to both Ca- and Ca + Mg-ATPase activities. The level of inhibition of Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities was generally high in the retinal axons and optic lobe synaptosomes but lowest in the axoplasmic preparations. |
