ABSTRACT
Bantu
N., Effect of profenofos on Na+- K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+
ATPase of Indian carp Labeo rohita
(Hamilton), Onl J Vet Res., 20(9):607-616, 2016. Groups of 10 fish in 15L test water were exposed to
lethal and sub lethal concentrations of profenofos
for 24, 48, 72, 96h and 1, 4, 8 and 16 days. Experiments were conducted in
triplicates for each concentration of pesticide. Na+- K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ ATPase
activities were determined in gill, liver, kidney and muscle of fish. Results
showed a decline in Mg2+, Na+ - K+ and Ca2+
ATPases in gill, muscle, kidney and liver in
all exposed fish compared with non-treated controls. With lethal concentrations
the decline in Na+ - K+ and Ca2+ and Na+
- K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ ATPases
suggested severe disruption of cellular ionic regulation.
Key Words: Profenofos,
Carp, Tissue, Enzymes.
