Industry Reviews Proceedings of the symposium held by a division of the American Chemical Society, September 1988, in Los Angeles. The contributors attempt to integrate experimental data obtained at the molecular, cellular, organ, and animal levels in order to define the whole picture of insecticidal action. For example, the sodium channel of nerve membrane has been identified as the major target site of pyrethroids and DDT, and this modification of the sodium channel causes increased transmitter release from nerve terminals, which can then have large effects on overall, physiology or behavior. But some pyrethroids appear to inhibit the GABA receptor-channel complex, which could modify the organism's overall response. The subject is complex -- and of vital importance.
