Abstract
The effect of an organophosphate insecticide “Owadofos płynny-50” (Fenitrothion) is shown in eel as a progressive bradycardia, elongation of ventricular changes (Q-T), and of an autonomic depolarisation of excitation-generating centres an autonomic depolarisation of excitation-generating centres (T-P). Intravenal application of catecholamines delays and moderates the ECG changes brought about by the insecticide.
