Abstract

The present investigation deals with biochemical effect of chronic doses of carbamate and fenvalerate administered continuously for 60 day's on liver and muscles of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus. Treatment with carbamate increases the value of Cholesterol by 3.63% and 18.54% in liver and muscle respectively. While increases the value of triglycerides by 5.31% and 4.81% in liver and muscle respectively. Treatment with fenvalerate increases the value of Cholesterol by 4.02% and 22.45% in liver and muscle respectively. While increases the value of triglycerides by 5.73% and 4.65% in liver and muscle respectively. This shows the alterations in biochemical parameters in liver and muscles due to liver cirrhosis and toxicant accumulation in muscles.
