Title: Impact of phosphamidon on the carbohydrate metabolism of a freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium lamarrei
Abstract: The effects of a lethal (96 hr LC50) and two sublethal (40 and 80% of 96 hr LC50) doses of phosphamidon on hepatic and muscle glycogen values and blood glucose level of a freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium lamarrei (H. Milne Edwards), have been studied. Pesticide exposure depleted the glycogen values in both tissues while the blood glucose level was elevated up to 72 hr, after which it was decreased. The probable explanations of phosphamidon-induced changes are discussed.
