| Abstract | ||
| A Pilot study was carried out to measure specific activity and distribution of antioxidant enzymes: catalase (C-ase) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lipid peroxidation (LP) in brain, liver, kidney, gill and muscle of common carp (Cyprinus carnio L.) The highest level of catalase was found in the liver (468.0 units, gm wet tissue) followed by the kidney. The activity of SOD in liver was two-fold that in kidney. And the highest level of LP was observed in brain. The in vivo effects of half LC50 and LC50 of pyrazophos, glyphosate, fenvalerate and copper sulfate after 90 hours or C-ase, SOD, and LP of fish were studied. The greatest induction of liver Case was noticed by glyphosate, while the least was by CuSO4. Different pesticides have different effects on SOD activity, oscillating between activation and inhibition. Brain, kidney and liver were chosen to evaluate the effect of pesticides on lipid peroxidation as a food quality. Liver was the most vulnerable to this harmful phenomenon, that was highly induced. | ||
