Abstract
The effect of daily oral administration of sub-lethal doses of lindane (5 mg/kg) and deltamethrin (2 mg/kg) for three weeks on male mice after one hour and after three weeks of last dose were studied. The treated mice showed reduction of body weight. There was also a significant increase in liver, kidney, and brain: body weight ratios after three weeks of last dose. In contrast, there was a significant decrease in spleen: body weight ratio. The tested pesticides significantly inhibited mice brain ATPases (Total—ATPase, Na+, K+-ATase and Mg 2 + -ATPase) after one hour and after three weeks of treatment, except that deltamethrin significantly inhibited Mg 2 + -ATPase. Pesticides failed to produce any significant changes in the levels of δ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamic acid.
