Srivastava AK, Singh NN: Acute toxicity of propoxur on carbohydrate metabolism of Indian catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis). Toxicol Lett. 1982 Apr;11(1-2):31-4.
Exposure of Indian catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) to 5.20 ppm propoxur for 3, 6, 12, 48 and 96 h caused muscle glycogen depletion at 12 h and hepatic glycogenolysis at 3, 12, 48 and 96 h; hyperglycemia developed at all time-intervals. Blood pyruvate levels increased significantly at 12 and 48 h. Hyperlacticemia was observed at 6 h but hypolacticemia resulted at 12, 48 and 96 h in pesticide-treated fish. The observed effects are explained in terms of acute stress syndrome; possible mechanisms underlying the effect of anticholinesterase action of propoxur on carbohydrate metabolism are also discussed. |
