Abstract :

Protein content, lipid peroxidation (LPX) and reduced glutathione (GSH) level in pre–clitellar, clitellar and post–clitellar region of Eudrilus eugeniae  exposed to the soil, spiked with malathion @ of 20mg/kg  (at different time interval of 24 h, 48 h, 72h ) were measured and compared with that of the control (0 h).
