Effects of Thiamethoxam on Liver Protein of Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas)

Effects of Thiamethoxam on Liver Protein of Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas) The effect of thiamethoxam insecticide on liver protein content of Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas) was investigated. The study revealed that there was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the total liver protein between 12.5, 25 and 50 mg l−1 doses of thiamethoxam, though the level was lower than the control. Whereas, the rate of increase was higher in 7 days exposure period (EP) than 14 days EP. Such dose depended increase in the protein level was probably due to the interacting effects between the toxicant and the biological system concerned. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Proceedings of the Zoological Society Springer Journals

Abstract

The effect of thiamethoxam insecticide on liver protein content of Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas) was investigated. The study revealed that there was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the total liver protein between 12.5, 25 and 50 mg l−1 doses of thiamethoxam, though the level was lower than the control. Whereas, the rate of increase was higher in 7 days exposure period (EP) than 14 days EP. Such dose depended increase in the protein level was probably due to the interacting effects between the toxicant and the biological system concerned.
