Effect of Oberon (Insecticides) and remedial impact of Tulsi (Oscimum sanctum) on blood glucose level of an air breathing fish Channa panctatus

Sonio Sarita Tirkey and G. K. Thakur

ABSTRACT:

Channa punctatus were exposed to various test concentration of Oberon (Pesticide) for 96 hour along with the control utilizing 10 animals. Blood glucose decreased in all the test concentration of Oberon. Plasma protein and total cholesterols decreased significantly. The hypoglycemic response may be a result of greater energy requirement with inadequate supply of energy source due to increased metabolic activities. Oberon causes severe damage to the fish by the means of hypoglycemic response but Tulsi plays the vital role in combating the deleterious effects of Oberon at each level. Tulsi is the best antidote against the Oberon induced toxicity.
