Protein degradation and related enzyme profiles on a sublethal toxicity of aldrin in the tissues of Rana hexadactyla

The effects of a sublethal toxicity of aldrin were studied in the brain, muscle, kidney, and intestine of Rana hexadactyla after 1, 2, and 4 weeks of exposures. Aldrin toxicity resulted in a depletion of protein, an increase in amino acid levels, and an enhancement of the activity of protease and amino transferases. The changes were maximum after a 4-week exposure.
