The present study deals with the effect of atrazine on nitrogen metabolism in the liver and brain of fish. Significant changes were seen in the levels of proteins, free amino acids, ammonia, urea, glutamine and the activity levels of proteases, glucogenic aminotransferases, branched-chain aminotransferases, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutaminase, arginase, AMP deaminase and adenosine deaminase in both the tissues of fish exposed to sublethal concentration of atrazine. The study reflects a shift in nitrogen concentration of atrazine. The study reflects a shift in nitrogen metabolism in the tissues of fish for efficient mobilization of end products of protein catabolism as a consequence of atrazine.
