[Action of carbaryl on the electroretinogram of the white mouse]. 1978

P Carricaburu, and R Lacroix, and J Lacroix

Carbaryl intoxication results in important modifications of the Mouse ERG, with an increase of the latency and a decrease of the amplitude, then a suppression of b-wave. This action is supposed to be provoked by the anticholinesterasic properties of carbamates, which result in a section of retinian synapses.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010278	Parathion	A highly toxic cholinesterase inhibitor that is used as an acaricide and as an insecticide.	E-605,Ethyl Parathion,Phosphostigmine,Thiofos,Thiophos,Parathion, Ethyl
D012160	Retina	The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent.	Ora Serrata
D002800	Cholinesterase Inhibitors	Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.

D004596	Electroretinography	Recording of electric potentials in the retina after stimulation by light.	Electroretinographies
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012721	Carbaryl	A carbamate insecticide and parasiticide. It is a potent anticholinesterase agent belonging to the carbamate group of reversible cholinesterase inhibitors. It has a particularly low toxicity from dermal absorption and is used for control of head lice in some countries.	1-Naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate,Antigale,Carbaril,Carbaryl, Manganese (2+) Salt,Carbaryl, Nickel (2+) Salt,Carbyl,Carylderm,Concentrat VO 18,Dog-Net Insecticide Poudre,Fido's Free-Itch,G-Wizz,Joseph Lyddy,Océcoxil,Poudre insecticide Moureau,Poudre insecticide Vetoquinol,Poutic,Sevin,Skatta Tick Flea Louse Powder,Sépou,Tigal,Dog Net Insecticide Poudre,DogNet Insecticide Poudre,Fido's Free Itch,Fido's FreeItch,G Wizz,GWizz,Lyddy, Joseph,Moureau, Poudre insecticide,VO 18, Concentrat,Vetoquinol, Poudre insecticide,insecticide Moureau, Poudre,insecticide Vetoquinol, Poudre
D013569	Synapses	Specialized junctions at which a neuron communicates with a target cell. At classical synapses, a neuron's presynaptic terminal releases a chemical transmitter stored in synaptic vesicles which diffuses across a narrow synaptic cleft and activates receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the target cell. The target may be a dendrite, cell body, or axon of another neuron, or a specialized region of a muscle or secretory cell. Neurons may also communicate via direct electrical coupling with ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES. Several other non-synaptic chemical or electric signal transmitting processes occur via extracellular mediated interactions.	Synapse
