ABSTRACT

 

Nagaraju B, Rathnamma VV., Effect of profenofos and carbosulfan on antioxidant enzymes in tissues of the fish Labeo rohita (Hamilton), Onl J Vet Res., 17(9):460-478, 2013  The effects of lethal and sublethal concentrations of profenofos an organophosphate pesticide (OP), and carbosulfan an carbamate pesticide (CM) on antioxidant enzymes in various vital organs of freshwater fish Labeo rohita are described. The fish were exposed for 24h and 8 days to lethal (96h LC50 of 100μg/l, 1.126mg/l) and sublethal concentration (1/10th 96 h LC50 of 10μg/l, 0.1126mg/l) of profenofos 50% and carbosulfan 25%E.C. The results showed increased catalase, malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl, H2O2, and free amino acids in tissues of L.rohita exposed to profenofos and carbosulfan. L. rohita is found to be more sensitive to the toxicity of profenofos compared to carbosulfan. Results suggested that profenofos and carbosulfan induced production of free radicals and oxidative stress in a dose dependent manner.

 

Keywords: concentrations, freshwater, lethal, malondialdehyde, and toxicity
