| Abstract: | The relationship between glutathione S-transferase activity toward 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene and O-alkyl or O-aryl conjugation of diazinon was investigated in eight strains of house flies. No significant difference was found in the amount of O-aryl conjugation. In contrast, house flies which had higher glutathione S-transferase activity toward 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene also had higher O-alkyl conjugating activity toward diazinon. The glutathione S-transferase(s) in phenobarbital-pretreated flies degraded diazinon faster than those in the nontreated ones. The present results showed that the formation of the O-alkyl conjugate was enhanced by phenobarbital pretreatment, while the formation of the O-aryl conjugate was not affected by induction. Based on these findings, it would appear that one of the multiple forms of glutathione S-transferase is specifically induced and responsible for the increase in O-alkyl conjugation. |
