Philip GH, Reddy PM, Sridevi G: Cypermethrin-induced in vivo alterations in the carbohydrate metabolism of freshwater fish, Labeo rohita. Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 1995 Jul;31(2):173-8.
Aspects of carbohydrate metabolism under in vivo conditions were analyzed in functionally different tissues of the freshwater fish, Labeo rohita, exposed to a lethal (LC50/96 hr = 5.24 micrograms liter-1) and sublethal concentration (0.52 micrograms liter-1) of cypermethrin for 4 days. All exposed fish exhibited a hyperglycemic condition. An increase in tissue lactate with a decrease in pyruvate, total carbohydrates, and glycogen contents was noted. Activity of lactate dehydrogenase was elevated, indicating a shift toward anaerobiosis. TCA cycle enzymes, namely succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, were inhibited. In most cases changes were more pronounced during a lethal exposure compared to sublethal exposure period. The data indicate that the fish has adopted a compensatory mechanism to derive energy during pyrethroid toxicosis. |
