Effect of Lindane (δ- isomer) on Serum cholesterol and Liver enzyme markers in mice (Mus musculus)

Abstract

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.
