Detoxifying enzymes such as microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases (polysubstrate monooxygenases, PSMOs), glutathione transferases, esterases and epoxide hydrolases can be induced by various chemicals in animals. Enzyme induction is a commonly occurring phenomenon representing an effective mechanism of adaptation to external conditions. Most of the induction work has been done with the PSMO system in mammals because of its important role in drug metabolism. The first report of induction of the PSMO enzymes in insects was that of Morello (1964) who found that nymphs ofTriatomainfestansKlug (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) were less susceptible to DDT after pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene and produced more polar metabolites from DDT. Since then, induction has been demonstrated in at least 16 other species of insects (Terriere and Yu, 1974; Terriere, 1983, 1984). The PSMOs can be induced by a variety of chemicals with diverse structures including insecticides such as DDT and cyclodienes (Walker and Terriere, 1970; Plapp and Casida, 1970; Yu and Terriere, 1972; Khan and Matsumura, 1972); insect hormones and growth regulators such as ecdysone and juvenile hormone (Yu and Terriere, 1971, 1975; Terriere and Yu, 1976), organic solvents such as pentamethylbenzene (Brattsten and Wilkinson, 1973; Brattsten and Wilkinson, 1977), drugs such as phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene (Agosin et al., 1969; Yu and Terriere, 1973; Gil et al., 1974; Brattsten et al., 1976; Yu and Ing, 1984), butylated hydroxytoluene and triphenyl phosphate (Perry et al., 1971), and allelochemicals such as terpenoids, indoles and flavonoids (Brattsten et al., 1977, 1984; Yu et al., 1979; Yu, 1982a; Yu, 1983).
