Abstract
The kidney is among the first organs harmed by contaminants in the
water. It is an essential organ in the body, and healthy kidney function is
necessary to preserve homeostasis. The presence of potentially harmful
substances entering the body because of these activities can affect the
kidneys. The goal of every organism's detoxification system is to keep the body
free of pollutants. Higher concentrations of dangerous substances, however,
have an adverse effect on the body. The amount of biochemical components in
different organs indicates how hazardous a pesticide is, and biochemical
parameters offer a quick and accurate way to track how a pesticide is affecting
aquatic biota and, eventually, the environment. The current study assessed the
total protein and total carbohydrate in the kidney tissue of freshwater catfish
Clarias gariepinus exposed to sublethal levels of endosulfan. The
results of the present investigation show a progressive reduction in the
protein content of kidney tissues treated with endosulfan in Clarias
gariepinus.
