This reseach concentrated on exploring the deformed erythrocytes morphology due to the effects of heavy metal toxicity and the size of erythrocytes when treated with almond leaves (Terminalia Catappa) on Pangasius Hypophthalmus. The fishes were fed with food mixed with almond leaves extract with concentrations of 0.3ml, 0.6ml, and 0.9ml in 7 days. After that, lead is contaminated with an amount of 1.0mg/l for all 3 treatments to evaluate the ability to treat inflammation in catfish contaminated with lead. The results when feeding fishes with almond leaves extract shown that the size of the area and circumference of erythrocytes increased, showing the ability to treat inflammation in Pangasius of almond leaves extract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
