  • Title: Aldrin and lindane impact on acid and alkaline phosphatase activities of prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros: in vitro study.
    Author: Reddy MS, Rao KV.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1990 Dec; 22(6):1033-40. PubMed ID: 1708667.
    Abstract:
    Activity levels of acid and alkaline phosphatases in hepatopancreas, stomach, muscle, gill and brain tissues of penaeid prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros were studied after in vitro addition of different concentrations of aldrin and lindane, the organochlorine insecticides. The activity levels of both these enzymes were inhibited significantly in all the tissues of prawn and the degree of inhibition is increased with increase in the concentration of insecticide. The significant inhibition creates disturbances in the normal functioning such as disturbances in the normal functioning such as disturbances in protein synthesis and different biochemical lesions in selected tissues of prawn, M. monoceros.
