In the present study, sub-lethal effects of chlorpyrifos, alone (25 and 50 μg L⁻¹) and in combination with Polyethylene glycol (5 and 10 mg L⁻¹), on common carp were investigated. Exposure to chlorpyrifos caused significant changes in all blood biochemical parameters compared to control groups. Total protein, triglyceride, glucose levels, as well as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activities in plasma changed after exposure to 10 mg L⁻¹ polyethylene glycol (PEG), while fish exposed to PEG did not show any significant difference in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities and albumin and globulins levels. Exposure to a combination of chlorpyrifos and PEG caused a significant change in AST, GGT, CPK, LDH and AChE activity, total protein and glucose level. The influence of chlorpyrifos and PEG combination on ALP, cholesterol, triglyceride, albumin, and globulin depends on the concentration of the insecticide and PEG. With a reduction in chlorpyrifos concentration, PEG can maintain ALP activity and albumin at a normal level. Although fish exposure to chlorpyrifos, alone or in combination with polyethylene glycol, significantly increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase (CAT) level, it decreased total antioxidant level (TAN). Exposure to just polyethylene glycol had no impact on CAT activity, TAN and MDA level. According to the results, PEG can have an antagonistic effect on chlorpyrifos toxicity, depending on these two materials concentration. However, chlorpyrifos increased the toxicity of PEG.
