              Abstract 
 Aim:
              To see the toxicopathological changes after multiple exposure 
              to acetamiprid (ACP) and also to obtain more information regarding 
              the manner in which ACP acts at cellular level. 
              Materials and Methods: A subacute toxicity study of ACP was 
              undertaken in 72 female Wistar rats in four groups (18 each). 
              Three different concentrations of ACP (25, 100 and 200 mg/kg of 
              body weight) were administered orally to rats. Untreated rats 
              served as control. Different plasma enzyme and analytes were 
              measured. Gross and histopathological observations were noted in 
              this experiment. Result:
              There was a significant increase in the plasma enzymes tested 
              in this experiment. There was a significant decrease in plasma 
              glucose, cholesterol and low-density lipid. Necrotic and 
              degenerative changes were observed in vital organs.  
              Conclusion: It is observed that ACP has the 
              toxic potential (on liver, kidney, heart, ovary and brain) at sub 
              lethal doses.  
              Keywords: acetamiprid, histopathology, 
              Wistar rat.
