In the present study, we investigate the serum cholesterol level and the liver enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, and aspartate aminotransferase) in mice. Lindane (δ- isomer), 100mg/kg body weight, injected subcutaneously for 30 days. Our present study found that after 30 days of lindane administration, after sacrificing the mice, a significant increase in serum cholesterol levels observed. Alkaline phosphatase levels significantly decreased, whereas the alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase levels significantly increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
