to pretreatment activity). When <strong>the</strong> data were corrected to account <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>declining activity in <strong>the</strong> control group (up to 24%), inhibition <strong>of</strong> plasma ChEactivity in <strong>the</strong> dichlorvos subjects was 27% after 16 days and continued to bedepressed by 13-21% <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> remainder <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dosing period. During <strong>the</strong> 74-day post-treatment period, plasma ChE activity recovered to control levelswithin 2 weeks.
