Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 EFFECT OF WATER-BORNE SUBLETHAL DOSES OF ENDOSULFAN ON HISTOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN THE LIVER OF TELEOST FISH CYPRINUS CARPIO AJIT HUNDET AND BARUN K PRABHAT Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : With a view to appraise the histochemical effect of sublethal doses of
waterborne endosulfan (EDS) on hepatopancreatic cells of Cyprinus carpio, we
estimated protein, carbohydrate and acid mucopolysaccharide content following
treatment with 0.0015 and 0.002 ppm EDS concentration for periods varying from 10 to
20 days and compared them to the control one. Our results indicate concomitant loss of
protein, carbohydrate, and acid mucopolysaccharide with dose and time along with a
good recuperation in carbohydrate content in some hepatocytes following 0.002ppm
EDS intoxication for twenty days showing carbohydrate metabolism is less affected in
comparison to the metabolism of protein and acid mucopolysaccharide. The dropping
off in chemical constituents combined with the pesticide contamination will certainly
affect the fish health, reduce its dietetic value and affect the health and economy of
mankind adversely. Another important thing that we have noted is that endosulfan also
depletes dissolved oxygen (DO) level within twenty four hours that may causes fish
death. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : AJIT HUNDET AND BARUN K PRABHAT, (2013).
