A report from the University of Montana discusses new research findings on Chemicals and Chemistry. The study focuses on the synthesis of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor paraoxon (POX) as a carbon-11 positron emission tomography tracer and its effects on live rats. The research shows that even low exposures to POX can rapidly enter the brain. The study also examines the blockade and recovery of proteins in rats treated with nonradioactive POX. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. [Extracted from the article]
