Abstract
The changes in the soluble and insoluble protein contents, glucose and activity levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were studied in hepatopancreas, muscle and gill tissues of penaeid prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros, following its exposure to sublethal concentrations of phosphamidon and methylparathion, organophosphorus insecticides. Both soluble and insoluble protein fractions increased, whereas tissue glucose content decreased. Oxidative metabolism and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity levels was significantly elevated. the results obtained in the present study throws light on the enhanced protein synthetic potentiality and detoxification of insecticide molecules are the adoptive measures to counteract the insecticide toxicity.
