Aldrin toxicity was studied in the brain, liver and muscle of Rana hexadactyla. It was observed that sublethal concentration of aldrin inhibited the activities of SDH, MDH and ICDH while it elevated the activities of LDH and G-6-PDH. The increase and the decrease was progressive with the exposure period. The changes were attributed to the induced toxic effects such as oxygen distress, energy crisis and microstructural changes.
