'Toxicity Effects of Methyl Parathion on Fish Physiology' is a comprehensive book written by P. Anandan, which provides a detailed insight into the impact of pesticides on the physiology of fish, with a specific focus on Methyl Parathion. The book discusses the widespread use of pesticides, which has led to environmental contamination, posing a significant threat to aquatic life, and ultimately, human health.The book explores the complex mechanisms of toxicity of Methyl Parathion on fish physiology, with an emphasis on the effects on the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which plays a crucial role in nervous system functioning. It also examines the impact of Methyl Parathion on oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species, and the role of antioxidants, glutathione, and DNA damage, as well as lipid peroxidation, and histopathology.The book covers a wide range of topics, including genotoxicity, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and various metabolic processes, such as carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. It also discusses ion and osmoregulation, gonadal development, reproductive performance, growth, and developmental toxicity, as well as embryonic mortality, larval abnormalities, and behavioral changes.Furthermore, the book emphasizes the importance of water quality and food safety, and the need for risk assessment and ecological risk management. It also explores the use of biomarkers to assess the effects of Methyl Parathion toxicity, endocrine disruption, and hormonal imbalance. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of sustainable development, aquaculture, fisheries, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem health in mitigating the impact of pesticides on fish physiology.
