  • 1. Radioisotopes Department, Atomic Energy Establishment Cairo (Egypt)

Description

Carbaryl at a dose level of 56 mg/kg (1/5 , LD50) caused a highly significant elevation in serum aspartate transferase (AST) one day after treatment. Carbaryl also significantly increased serum alanine transferase (ALT), serum lactate dehydrogenase (HDH),ser creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and its isoenzyme creatine phosphokinase-MB (CPK-MB). However the cardiac muscle was effected on the 7 Th days after treatment as it was represented by troponin subunits 1. Carbaryl also caused a hyperthyrodism as represented by an increase in circulatory triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
