Freshwater goldfish Carassius auratus gibelio were exposed to 2μg/l delthametrin for one, 2, 3, 7 and 14 days. Activities of kidney catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) and glutathione-S- transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) were affected in a time-dependent manner by the pesticide exposure compared to controls. The results indicate that C. auratus gibelio kidney resisted to oxidative stress by antioxidant mechanisms and developed an adaptative response.
