In the present study an attempt has been made to explore the effect of sublethal concentration of an organochlorine agricultural pesticide {gamma}-BHC (1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane) on phospholipids, free cholesterol and esterified cholesterol levels in liver, plasma, and ovary during reproductively active phases, i.e., preparatory and prespawning phases in the female catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis. Modulatory role of oLH-RH and mGTH on pesticides induced changes on above lipids were also evaluated.
