Various intermediates of S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) glutathione were isolated and identified by TLC, indicating that the mercapturic acid biosynthesis pathway is operative in the housefly. Induction of mercapturic acid biosynthesis by phenobarbital resulted in a 1.75 fold increase in mercapturic acid formation.}, number={6}, journal={INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY}, author={ABDELRAOF, TK and DAUTERMAN, WC}, year={1981}, pages={649–651} }
