Abstract

The lethal and sublethal toxicity of Endosulfan on the African toad, Bufo regularis were evaluated to assess changes in behaviour and energy reserves. 96 hours LC50 was 0.730 mg/l while the estimated safe concentration was 0.07 mg/L indicating the high toxicity of the insecticide. Toads exposed to lethal concentrations of endosulfan showed dose-dependent behavioural abnormalities with more pronounced poisoning symptoms occurring at higher concentrations. The pesticide caused differential increase in serum glucose levels with a concomitant reduction in liver glycogen indicating disorders in carbohydrate metabolism due to pesticide induced stress and hence can serve as suitable biomarkers in pesticide toxicity studies.

硫丹农药对蟾蜍的影响。

研究了硫丹对非洲蟾蜍(Bufo regularis)的致死和亚致死毒性，以评估其行为和能量储备的变化。96 h LC50为0.730 mg/l，而安全浓度估计为0.07 mg/l，表明该杀虫剂具有较高的毒性。暴露于致命浓度硫丹的蟾蜍表现出剂量依赖性行为异常，浓度越高，中毒症状越明显。农药引起血清葡萄糖水平的差异升高，同时伴有肝糖原的降低，表明由于农药诱导的应激导致碳水化合物代谢紊乱，因此可以作为农药毒性研究的合适生物标志物。
