Abstract

The effect of pretreatment with phenobarbital (PB) on γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in an insecticide-susceptible housefly strain (CSMA) and three insecticide-resistant housefly strains (Fc, Rutgers, and Hirokawa) was investigated. Pretreatment with PB had little if any effect on GGT activity in the susceptible and resistant housefly strains, indicating that not all the enzymes involved in mercapturic acid biosynthesis in the housefly are inducible.
