Imidacloprid Exposure Alters Serum Biochemical Parameters in Channa Punctuatus (Bloch)
Abstract: The sublethal effects of imidacloprid the serum biochemical parameters of fish, channa punctuatus could be altered. The levels of Glucose, Lactate, Amino acid nitrogen (AAN), Creatine, Bilirubin, Phospholipids, Triglycerides and Non esterified fatty acids (NEFA) increased with decreased in the level of protein, non-protein nitrogen (NPN), Pyruvate and Albumin during the toxic exposure periods at different time intervals in the serum of the fish. Increase in the level of glucose due to glycogenic activity and decreased in protein level due to enhanced proteolytic activity under stress condition. Low levels of pyruvate and high level of lactic acid indicate fish can shift from aerobic to anaerobic condition. The elevated levels of creatine, bilirubin, urea and decrease in the albumin context under stress condition reveals renal failure and acute hepatic necrosis. The levels of serum phospholipids, Triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) are increased due to elevation which might be due to increased esterification reactions under stress condition.
