| Abstract | The effect of exposure to sublethal concentrations of methylparathion on enzyme activities in the liver of rohu, Labeo rohita, was studied during 96 h exposure. Alterations were observed in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) ) activities in the liver of L. rohita, of mean size 75 ± 6 g. ALP and ASP activity levels in methylparathion treated fishes were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control fishes. The LDH activity in the liver of L. rohita after methylparathion exposure was two-fold higher (p<0.05) when compared to control. These results revealed that methylparathion affects the intermediary metabolism of L. rohita and that the assayed enzymes can work as good biomarkers of methylparathion contamination. |
