Gastropods exposed to toxicants for even a short span of time may produce considerable destruction of the internal organs especially their enzymatic architecture. Majority of enzymes are functional in various metabolic pathways and changed pattern of enzyme activity induced by pesticide, is the surest indicator of functional disorder, enzyme assays and estimation of metabolites have been proposed as valid biochemical means of monitoring toxicity. Hence the present investigation was therefore, undertaken to study the alterations produced in the digestive enzymes protease and lipase metabolic enzyme in the gastropod, Laevicaulis alte after treatment of endosulfan.
