Title: Alterations of antioxidant status, protein content and lipid peroxidation induced by butachlor (a herbicide) in s. plagiostomus found in nallah sukhnag
Abstract: The study was conducted to assess the toxicity effect of butachlor on antioxidant status of
Schizothorax plagiostomus present in Nallah Sukhnag (Kashmir). S. plagiostomus were
administered with different doses (0.001mM, 0.01mM and 0.1 mM) of butachlor and were then
analyzed for antioxidant status. Various markers of oxidative stress such as glutathione Stransferase,
glutathione reductase, levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), protein content and
lipid peroxidation (LPO), were estimated in muscle, intestine and liver of fish. Butachlorinduced
LPO and modulate the levels of GSH, antioxidant enzyme activity and protein content
in all organs examined. Results showed the decrease in all antioxidant enzymes, GSH, protein
content but increase in lipid peroxidation in all the organs in group ΙΙΙ treated with high
concentration of pesticide. Fish exposed to butachlor experienced oxidative stress which was
concentration dependent
