Abstract

Modulation in serum biochemicals in European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus (Linn.) exposed to ethephon

Anant J. Dhembare and Avinash B. Gholap

The acute toxicity of ethephon (C2H6ClO3P) was evaluated in blood serum biochemical in European rabbit. The data obtained showed that the depletion in protein, cholesterol, creatinine, while rise in calcium and bilirubin. On concomitant to minimum and maximum percent reduction in protein (-9.7 to -14.5%), Cholesterol (-13.0 to -19.8%), creatinine (-12.5 to -37.5%) and rise in calcium (10.2 to 17.9%) and bilirubin (up to 33.3%) recorded on exposure period. The result suggests the modulation in blood serum biochemical on exposure on ethephon. These parameters are valuable indicators of health and stresses in living organism.
