Abstract :

Earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae, n=40)were segregated from the vermiculture stock maintained by the laboratoryinto 4 different bucket filled with 750 g of soil and were divided into two groups: Control (Group A) and Experimental (Group B, C and D). 15mg of furadan was mixed thoroughly with the soil of Bucket B, C and D. 1mg ofcurcuminand 50µl of vitamin A wereadded to the experimental group C and D respectively.The animals were sacrificed after different time intervals (24hr,48hr and 72hr) and processed for the biochemical analysis.The lipid peroxidation (LPX), ascorbic acid (ASA), lipid, reduced glutathione (GSH) and protein content of both control and experimental group were measured and compared.
