Biochemical parameter investigations are important in toxicological evaluations because changes in these parameters show before clinical symptoms do. The purpose of this study was to see how Lesenta pesticide affected biochemical parameters in the freshwater teleost C. carpio. This study used 1/10th of the sub-lethal concentrations of lesenta (i.e., 1 mg/L) based on the toxicity study. Fish were treated to their respective sub-lethal concentrations of Lesenta and kept at these levels for the duration of the experiment. Fish were dissected after the control and experimental groups were completed to analyze biochemical changes in the liver, gills, and brain tissues. Changes in biochemical parameters such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are crucial indicators of organ systems' sensitivity to pollution by affecting their function. The current study's findings revealed a considerable drop in protein content in the tissues examined. With increasing exposure time, the protein level in all of the treated tissue samples decreased. The present findings revealed a considerable reduction in carbohydrate content in all of the tissues examined.
