Abstract
Recent years have seen phenomenal increases in the use of pesticides to control various types of pests to increase food supply. Among them the organochlorine (OC) group of insecticides are widely used in India because of their cheapness and long persistency. The technical grade Benzenehexachloride is a mixture of several stereo isomers and it has low acute toxicity but high chronic toxicity to animals mainly due to the accumulation and slow degradation of ..beta..-isomer in animal tissues. Since the derrangement in tissue protein degradation is reflected by changes in protein composition, later may be considered in assessing the protein metabolic perturberations during toxic stress. So, the present work is aimed to study the effect of BHC on the protein metabolism in the mice, Mus booduga.
