Abstract
The ability of rats to spontaneously reactivate dimethyoxy phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase and efficiently detoxify organophosphates may prevent severe inhibition of muscle acetylcholinesterase following acute severe monocrotophos poisoning. This may protect rodents against the development of prolonged muscle weakness induced by organophosphates.
