Assessment of the changes in some diagnostics enzymes in fish Gambusia affinis treated with pesticide chlorpyrifos
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The acute toxicity of an organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos on enzyme activities of fish Gambusia affinis was evaluated under statistic conditions. The fish is constantly exposed to pesticides, which are used extensively to control agricultural pests. Evaluation of toxic effect of chlorpyrifos on fish was carried out. Effect of sub lethal (LC50), 1/3rd and 1/10th LC50 concentrations of chlorpyrifos at 15, 30 and 45 days of exposure was carried out in the sensitive organs such as liver. An alteration in the Acid phosphatase (ACP), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Adenosine triphosphatase enzyme (ATPase) was carried out. The enzyme ACP, ALP and LDH was elevated throughout the experimented period and the ATPase activity was inhibited along the experimental period at three different concentrations of chlorpyrifos.
