Abstract

The assessment of toxic effect of phosphamidon at the sublethal concentration of 2.6 ml/1 on liver and kidney tissues of Anabas testudineus has been investigated on Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), Glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and protein levels. Exposure periods of 24, 72 and 120 hr to sublethal concentration of phosphamidon showed significant increase in transaminase activities, in comparison to control. Protein content significantly decreased in both liver and kidney with increase in exposure duration. It is postulated that the metabolic response for growth of the species was seriously affected by the damaging effect of the pesticide manifested by the increase of transaminase activity and a decrease of protein content. Significance of these changes have been highlighted
