title: Pesticide induced alterations of non-protein nitrogenous constituents in the serum of a fresh water cat fish, Clarias batrachus (Linn.).
abstract: A freshwater cat fish was exposed to sublethal concentrations of two pesticides--carbaryl, a carbamate and phorate, an organophosphorus pesticide for 24, 72, 120 and 168 hr. The alterations in the serum profile of non protein nitrogen compounds demonstrated an increase in urea, uric acid and creatinine throughout the experimental period.
