Item Effect of pesticides carbaryl and phorate on serum cholesterol level in fish, Clarias batrachus (Linn).(2001-07-23) Jyothi, B; Narayan, GFreshwater edible catfish Clarias batrachus (Linn.) was treated with sublethal concentration of two different groups of pesticides- carbaryl, a carbamate and phorate, an organophosphate for 24 ,72 ,120 and 168 h. The disorders of lipid metabolism were observed in serum. Cholesterol levels in the serum decreased significantly throughout the exposure period with both the pesticides. These results indicate one significant manifestation of the toxic response from the fish under the stress of pesticide exposure.Item Hydatid cyst of unusual presentation.(1995-06-01) Reddy, M S; Jyothi, B; Sattar, S AItem Pesticide induced alterations of non-protein nitrogenous constituents in the serum of a fresh water cat fish, Clarias batrachus (Linn.).(2000-10-28) Jyothi, B; Narayan, GA freshwater cat fish was exposed to sublethal concentrations of two pesticides--carbaryl, a carbamate and phorate, an organophosphorus pesticide for 24, 72, 120 and 168 hr. The alterations in the serum profile of non protein nitrogen compounds demonstrated an increase in urea, uric acid and creatinine throughout the experimental period.Item Study of Serum Cholinesterase levels in fish Clarias batrachus (Linn.) exposed to pesticides carbaryl and phorate.(2004-10-03) Jyothi, B; Narayan, GStudy of the Serum Cholinesterase levels (SchE) in the freshwater catfish Clarias batrachus when exposed to sub lethal dose of pesticides phorate and carbamate, was attempted in this paper. SchE levels decreased in the fish exposed to both the pesticides, the depletion being more pronounced with phorate. These results can be due to impairment of nervous system, liver damage as well as myocardial infarction. Similar findings were not only reported in experimental organisms but also found in human beings working in agricultural fields and pesticide manufacturing plants. Hence it is imperative that suitable occupational health and preventive measures need to be undertaken.
