There has been a marked increase in the use of organophosphorous insecticides in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry and public health during the last 2 decades. Malathion perhaps ranks as one of the most extensively used insecticides in this class and the possibility of its poisioning in non target species cannot be ruled out. Several reports of experimental toxicity of malathion in laboratory animals are available. However reports on the biochemical changes induced by this insecticide in rats are scanty and scattered. Hence the present study was aimed to find out the effect of malathion toxicity on blood glucose, serum alkaline phosphatase and serum cholestrol levels.
