Some biochemical aspects of phosphine action and resistance in three species of stored product beetles

N R Price et al. Comp Biochem Physiol C Comp Pharmacol Toxicol. 1983.

Abstract

The inhibitory effects of phosphine on cytochrome-c oxidase and catalase have been investigated. Cytochrome-c oxidase is inhibited by treatment of insect homogenates in vitro. Catalase is inhibited in susceptible insects poisoned with phosphine in vivo. Resistant insects absorb less phosphine than susceptibles.
