The electrochemical reduction behaviour of Permethrin has been carried out, by employing d.c. polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse polarography (DPP) in the supporting electrolytes of the pH ranging from 2.0 to 12.0. The nature of electrode process was studied, the number of electrons was evaluated and the reduction mechanism was proposed. Kinetic parameters such as tran...

The method is based on the separation of Tl(I) as Tl(2)HPMo(12)O(40), stripping of the molybdate, and measurement of the peak current in differential-pulse polarography of the molybdenum. The calibration graph is linear over the range 2-12 ppm of thallium. The relative standard deviation is 1.2% (7 replicates each containing 500 microg of thallium). The current due to reduction of the molybdenu...

Double-stranded (ds) complexes of poly(C) with poly(G) and poly(G,I) were studied using differential pulse polarography (DPP) and differential pulse voltammetry at a pyrolytic graphite electrode (DPV). The complex formed by copolymer was found to be DPP inactive. On the other hand, poly(G).poly(C) yielded a small DPP peak corresponding to single-stranded (ss) poly(C). It was suggested that ss p...

The regulation of metallothionein (MT) biosynthesis in rainbow-trout liver was studied after a single intraperitoneal injection of oestradiol-17 beta. Sampling was performed after 2, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days. Following induction of vitellogenin synthesis in the liver, liver somatic index (LSI) rose from 1.25 to 2.00 in 14 days. Associated with the increase in LSI was an elevation of hepatic vi...
