Hemidactylus leschenaulultii were caught locally from North Orissa University, campus Baripada. They were divided into four groups and treated with ferric chloride at different time interval (24 h, 48 h and 72 h) against the control. The protein content, reduced glutathione level (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPX) level were measured in the muscle of Hemidactylus in both control and experimental (treated) group. It is observed that, GSH and LPX level of muscle were varied at different time intervals. It is found that ferric chloride (0.01ug), even at low dose altered the biochemical parameters and induces oxidative stress.
