Kamalaveni K, Gopal V, Sampson U, Aruna D: Effect of pyrethroids on carbohydrate metabolic pathways in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Pest Manag Sci. 2001 Dec;57(12):1151-4.
The activity levels of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) were assessed in various tissues of Cyprinus carpio var communis which had been exposed to lethal concentrations of group-II pyrethroids (deltamethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate and fluvalinate) for a period of 72 h. The results indicated a steady decrease in SDH activity with a concomitant increase in G6PD activity. The decreased SDH activity indicated inhibition of SDH at mitochondrial level and the increased G6PD activity an enhancement of an alternative pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, viz the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP) or pentose phosphate pathway as a biochemical adaptation to overcome the toxic stress. |
