Popis: Present study demonstrates permethrin induced oxidative damage in fish brain and explores effectiveness of melatonin to ameliorate brain function. Adult female Notopterus notopterus were exposed to nominal permethrin concentrations at 1/20th (0.34 μg/l) and 1/10th (0.68 μg/l) of LC50 for 15 days. The measured permethrin concentrations using gas chromatography (GC-ECD) were 0.28 μg/l and 0.57 μg/l, respectively. Some fish were sacrificed to collect brain tissue after 15 days of exposure. Remaining fish from both groups were administered exogenous melatonin (50 μg/kg, 100 μg/kg body weight) for 7 days and brain tissues were collected. Brain enzymes, ntioxidant factors, HSP70, HSP90, nuclear factor-kappa binding (NFkB), melatonin receptor (MT1R) proteins were measured. Permethrin treatment significantly (P
