Objective: To study the biochemical parameters of serum cholesterol and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase in fish channa punctatus, exposed under pesticide metasystox.

Materials and Methods: This study was concluded in fish channa punctatus, exposed 24 to 96 hours, to four different concentration of metasystox pesticide. Serum cholesterol and S.G.P.T. levels were estimated as biochemical biomarkers.

Result: There were significantly increase in serum cholesterol (Hypercholesterolemia) and S.G.P.T observed in metasystox pesticide exposed on fish channa punctatus, about at all concentration and time intervals.

Conclusion: The hypercholesterolemia and elevated aminotransferase (S.G.P.T) due to metasystox toxicity referred as biomarkers for the disorder like myocardial infarction, heart attack, hepatitis biliary obstruction, alcoholic cirrhosis, cancer, toxic hepatitis etc, in human beings
