The effect of endosulfan and its isomers on tissue protein, glycogen, and lipids in the fish Channa punctata

Effect of Ekalux Toxicity on Selected Physiological Parameters in Anabas Testudineus

“…Similar results were documented by Murty and Devi (1982) and Narayan Ram and Sathyanesan (1986). The depletion in total protein content may be due to augmented proteolysis and possible utilization of their product for metabolic purposes as reported by (Ravinder and Suryanaraya, 1988).…”

Effects of Sublethal Doses of Fenvalerate (A Synthetic Pyrethroid) Administered Continuously for Four Weeks on the Blood, Liver, and Muscles of a Freshwater Fish, Ctenopharyngodon idella

“…Decrease in hepatic proteins, lipid and glycogen contents is also reported by Murty and Priyamvada-Devi (1982) in Channa punctatus treated with endosulfan, and in muscle and liver glycogen by Gluth and Hanke (1985) in Cyprinus carpio, after treatment with different insecticides. Sastry and Siddiqui (1984) reported increase in the glycogen content of liver and muscle of Channa punctutus after exposure to quinalphos.…”

Assessment of the health status of wild fish inhabiting a cotton basin heavily impacted by pesticides in Benin (West Africa)

“…The second prevalent lesion was glycogen depletion that was observed at all sites, but more markedly in fish that were sampled from the Alibori River, especially during fish reproduction. Glycogen depletion could be due to an increase in energy expenditure in response to the increased metabolic demands caused by exposure to pesticides, as reported by different authors in fish exposed to endosulfan, organophosphates, heavy metals or to bacterial infections (Murty and Devi, 1982;Handy and Depledge, 1999;Fanta et al, 2003;Petri et al, 2006). It is usually considered as a general response to metabolic demands in the liver rather than as an indication of pollutant exposure.…”
