Abstract

The invivo effect of endrin treatment at a dose of 2-3 micrograms per-Kg
body weight, 30 times within a period of 51 days and sevin treatment, 7-8 mg/
Kg body weight, 13 times within a period of 21 days on the haemoglobin content,
carbonic anyhydrase, catalase and alkaline phosphatase activities in Heteropneiists
foxsilis is investigated and reported. Hepatic canbonic anhydrase in both endrin
treated (gr. 1) and sevin treated (gr. 11) fishes do not show significant alterations
due to drug treatment. But renal carbonic anhydrase is elevated in both groups.
Endrin enhances the hepatic alkaline phosphatase by 29% while renal and intestinal
phosphatases are unaffected, Sevin does not alter the liver alkaline phosphatase
but renal enzyme is reduced by 16% while intestinal enzyme is accelerated by
33%. Endrin administration enhances the hepatic catalase but reduces the renal
enzyme content. Sevin decreases the hepatic catalase content but renal enzyme is
accelerated. The Significance of enzyme enhancement and decreases are discussed.
