Neurohepatic Biochemical Alterations: Protein Profile Shifts in Cirrhinus Mrigala Under Emamectin Benzoate Toxicity.
Author(s): Madhav Pralhad Bhilave*
Emamectin Benzoate (EB) is a broad-spectrum insecticide primarily formulated for the management of lepidopteran pests. However, due to agricultural runoff and leaching, considerable amounts of EB may reach aquatic ecosystems, where it can exert toxic effects on non-target organisms, particularly fish. Biochemical alterations in fish serve as sensitive biomarkers and provide the earliest indications of stress under pesticide exposure. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the toxic impact of EB on protein metabolism in fingerlings of the freshwater major carp Cirrhinus mrigala. Fingerlings were exposed to predetermined sub-lethal (LC0) and median lethal (LC50) concentrations of EB, and acute toxicity responses were assessed. Brain and liver tissues two metabolically active and physiologically vital organs were chosen for analysis to determine tissue-specific biochemical .. Read More»
