Abstract: Abstract Ameliorating effects of cortisol and T3 on alphamethrin-dependent changes in the catalase (CAT) and protein profile of the freshwater catfish, Clarias batrachus, were studied. CAT activity and specific activity decreased in the liver, heart, kidney, and intestine after exposure to alphamethrin for 14 days. The administration of cortisol to alphamethrin-exposed fish brought the activity and specific activity of CAT up to their control values. The protein content decreased in different tissues of the fish after exposure to alphamethrin. The administration of T3 to alphamethrin-exposed fish reduced the protein content to the control value. Therefore, it can be suggested that cortisol and T3 may be used to ameliorate the toxicological effects of alphamethrin in fish.
