ABSTRACT
The intestinal dipeptidase and disaccharidase activities were investigated in 120 male albino rats of the Wistar strain after administration of 21 mumol.kg-1 body weight phosalone, 14.8 mumol.kg-1 body weight lindane and 10.5 mumol.kg-1 body weight phosalone combined with 7.4 mumol.kg-1 body weight lindane. The dipeptidase activity under the effect of these comparatively low doses of pesticides reveals slightly to moderate changes. The activity of intestinal disaccharidases after a 90-day phosalone and lindane treatment is markedly decreased, particularly that of sucrase. The mechanism of these changes remains unknown.
