Abstract

PESTAB. The beta-isomer of BHC fed to albino rats at 8000 ppm for 15 days decreased the levels of hepatic alkaline and acid phosphatase activities by 45 and 40%, respectively. Such exposure increased the levels of these enzyme activities in the kidney by 130 and 30%, respectively. The hepatic alanine aminotransferase activity was increased by 80%, along with a decrease in the kidney activity of this enzyme by 35%. Hepatic aspartate aminotransferase was decreased in activity by 30%. Hepatic lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase activity was increased. The gamma-isomer (lindane) similarly affected hepatic aminotransferase and phosphatase activities, but did not affect the kidney enzymes. [At the 1977 Annual Meeting of Biochemists.]
