| Abstract : The activity levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) enzymes were estimated in liver, muscle and brain tissues of the fish, Sarotherodon mossambicus (Peters), which had been exposed to sub-lethal (3mg litre-1) and lethal (25mg litre-1) concentrations of the carbamate insecticide carbaryl. Based on the results obtained, the changes in GOT and GPT levels in liver, muscle and brain following different periods of sub-lethal and lethal carbaryl exposures suggested that S mossambicus showed adaptive elevation in the activity levels of the two aminotransferase enzymes in the tissues, thereby probably aiding gluconeogenesis through transamination of glucogenic amino acids to meet the energy demand under carbaryl toxicity. |
