“…Changes in color and loss of appetite were also observed for some fishes. Similar behavioral responses determined in this study have been observed with the guppy exposed to pyrethroids (Viran et al, 2003), freshwater catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis exposed to cypermethrin (Saha and Kaviraj, 2003) and young mirror carp, Cyprinus carpio exposed to deltamethrin (Calta and Ural, 2004). Diet supplementation with LYC and/or VE for 14 and 28 days showed improvement in behavioral changes and the fishes were noticed in better conditions.…”

The aim of the present study was to evalute the protective role effect of lycopene and vitamin E on oxidative stress in Oreochromis niloticus exposed to diazinon (DZN). Adult fish were exposed to two sublethal concentrations (0.76 and 2.3 mg/l) of DZN against the ameliorative effect of lycopene (10 mg/kg) and vitamin E (50 mg/kg) for 14 and 28 days. DZN significantly led to a decline in total antioxidant capacity (TAO). However, lipid peroxidation (LPO), DNA fragmentation percentage, super oxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were significantly increased in gills, liver and kidney from the control values. Also, gills showed the highest accumulated DZN residues. Lycopene (LYC) and Vitamin E (VE) supplementation play an appositive role in detoxification of DZN toxicity. The results suggest that DZN can have effect on the antioxidant and oxidative stress biomarkers of fish negatively. Administration of lycopene and vitamin E could not decrease DZN residues in different tissues, but decreases the toxic effect of diazinon, as well as the decrease of LPO and DNA fragmentation near the control values. Also, TAO, CAT and SOD were better than the groups treated with only DZN.

“…Viran et al [39] reported in their study of deltamethrin acute toxicity on guppies (Poecilia reticulata), rapid gill movement, erratic swimming, swimming at the water surface and gulping for air and prolonged and motionless laying down on the aquarium bottom observed at all concentrations above 4.00 mg L −1 . The highest concentration (10.80 mg L −1 ) showed all responses at high levels.…”

Problem Statement: Landfill leachate had been implicated in environmental pollution, developmental anomalies, birth defect and surface and groundwater pollution worldwide. This study has been conducted to determine the toxicity of landfill leachate from three different landfills in Malaysia on fry common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae) in combination with some physico-chemical parameters analysis. Approach: Leachates were collected from Air Hitam (AHL), Ampar Tenang (ATL) and Sungai Sedu (SSL) landfills. The experiments were performed as three replicates using a total of 180 carps for each definitive test. The semi-static renewal method of acute toxicity test was used. The data obtained were statically evaluated by the use of the EPA computer program based on Finney's Probit Analysis Method. Results: The leachate used in this study had an invariable of (1640-7600 mg L −1 ) COD and (321.22-956.86 mg L −1 ) Ammonical-N. The 96 h LC 50 values of landfills leachate from the three landfills using fry C. carpio individuals with an average weight of 0.92±0.24 g and average length of 3.83±0.19 cm were found to be 1.132, 2.0 and 3.822% respectively. Among the behavioral changes observed for the individual fish at different leachate concentrations, decline in general activity, loss of balance, breathing difficulties, excessive mucosal secretion and gathering at the surface for breathing. Conclusion: This study of acute toxicity to the recommended fish species, C. caprio, is considered the first in Malaysia. Further research with toxicity testing methods directly on fish will be very useful in assessing possible ecological risk assessment of landfill leachate.

Ratos Wistar machos foram expostos por via oral, durante 28 dias, a 1/10 do valor da DL50 (concentração letal) da permetrina (PMT) ou deltametrina (DMT). O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar os resíduos de PMT e DMT no fígado e coração dos ratos ao final do período de exposição e avaliar o efeito nos níveis de resíduos devido à ingestão de pectina e celulose na dieta. Os analitos foram extraídos em acetonitrila e a limpeza dos extratos foi realizada por extração em fase sólida com florisil antes da análise por GC-ECD (cromatografia gasosa com captura de elétrons). Para PMT, os limites de quantificação (LOQ) foram 1,0 e 0,2 μg g -1 e para DMT 0,9 e 0,2 μg g -1 para fígado e coração, respectivamente. Não foi verificada a presença de resíduos de PMT ou DMT acima do LOQ do método, tanto no fígado como no coração dos animais expostos.For 28 days male Wistar rats were submitted to oral exposure with 1/10 of the LD50 value of permethrin (PMT) or deltamethrin (DMT). The aim of this study was to determine the residues of PMT and DMT in the liver and heart of the rats at the end of the exposure period, as well as to evaluate the effect of ingesting pectin and cellulose via the diet. The analytes were extracted with acetonitrile and the extracts were cleaned up by solid phase extraction with florisil before GC-ECD (gas chromatography coupled with an electron-capture detector) analysis. For PMT, the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 1.0 and 0.2 μg g -1 and for DMT 0.9 and 0.2 μg g -1 for liver and heart, respectively. No PMT or DMT residues were verified above the LOQ of the method in either the liver or heart of the exposed animals.Keywords: permethrin, deltamethrin, pyrethroids, insecticide residues, subchronic toxicity IntroductionPyrethroid pesticides are used in agriculture to control insects in vegetables, fruits and field crops, in public health to control diseases caused by vectors, and as a veterinary drug against ectoparasites. These agents do not persist in the environment and tend to exhibit slow development of insect resistance. 1 In general, pyrethroids are more effective against a wider range of insect pests and furthermore have a much lower mammal-to-insect toxicity ratio than their organochlorine, organophosphate and carbamate counterparts. 2 Nevertheless, the widespread use of these insecticides has lead to an increased exposure of workers and the ecosystem, 3 increasing the possibility of their entering the food chain via the meat or via their residues in fruits, vegetables and water. 4,5 The acute neurotoxicity of pyrethroids has been well characterized in several reviews. 1,6,7 However, although cardiovascular manifestations frequently accompany exposure to these compounds, their cardiotoxicity appears to have been little studied. 8,9 On the other hand, histological changes and alterations in the biochemical parameters were reported in rats after a single oral exposure to a-cypermethrin, 10 and residual concentrations of deltamethrin were found in several rat tissues after repeated oral exposure to th...
