Protein-bound iodine levels in the blood plasma of freshwater teleost, Channa punctatus (Bl.) exposed to subtoxic pesticide concentrations.
The effect of subtoxic concentrations (SC) of carbofuran 3% granules (G), a carbamate (5 ppm) and fenitrothion 50% emulsifiable concentrate (EC), an organophosphate (1.5 ppm) on protein-bound iodine (PBI) levels in the blood plasma of Channa punctatus were studied. Exposure to fenitrothion caused more decline in PBI levels than did carbofuran exposure.
