Determination of methomyl residues in slug tissues and different organs in albino rats [electronic resource].

Includes references.

High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of methomyl was used in order to measure the residue amount of methomyl as ng/g tissue of both terrestrial slug, Lehmenia marginata and male white albino rat, Rattus norvegicus var. a/bus. The results indicated high performance liquid chromatographic methomyl response after 48 hrs of topical application and poisoned food technique methods at different concentrations against gastropod slug, L. marginata. The distributed amounts of methomyl in different organs of male white albino rate, R. norvegicus var. a/bus due to LCs methomyl subcutaneously injection could be summarized as follows: a) Cerebellum tissue contained higher amounts of methomyl than cerebrum by 1.8 folds. b) Kidney had the highest methomyl residue of 6.99 ng/g tissue. c) Both liver and heart had the same residual amount of methomyl; the recorded values were 4.87 and 4.82 ng/g tissue, respectively. d) Cerebrum was the organ that contained the lowest methomyl residue. e) It was obvious that the amount of methomyl recovered remarkably attenuated by increasing the interval after treatment. f) Haematological investigation showed marked decrease in both red blood cells and white blood cells.
