In the present study SDS-PAGE was performed for the tissues of liver, brain, muscle, gill and kidney of L. rohita exposed to profenofos and carbosulfan. When compared to control the protein subunits of pesticides exposed tissues showed decrease in intensity and some protein subunits were disappeared. Inhibition of proteins may be due to tissue necrosis which leads to losses of intracellular enzymes or other proteins. The proteins showed more decrease in intensity or significant fading in profenofos exposed tissue samples than carbosulfan. The variations in protein subunits band patterns due to change in the turnover (synthesis or degradation) of various proteins.
