Changes in Liver Enzyme Activity in the TeleostSparus auratain Response to Cadmium Intoxication

In vitroenzymatic response of Turkish native chicken “Gerze” to heavy metal exposure

“…K i constants and inhibition types were also determined. Similar results were obtained in both in vitro and in vivo studies for various enzymes [28][29][30] . As seen from data of Nevertheless, all metal ions are quite strong inhibitors for the enzyme and inhibited Gerze chicken G6PD in competitive manner (Table 2).…”

Acute Effects of Vanadate Oligomers on Heart, Kidney, and Liver Histology in the Lusitanian Toadfish (Halobatrachus didactylus)

“…In fact, several works have reported that some fish species are far more sensitive to the toxic effects of heavy metals than mammals. Toxicological studies in fish species exposed to metals, such as cadmium, zinc, selenium, copper, and vanadium, are also almost exclusively limited to the evaluation of hepatic and renal injury (Palace and Klaverkamp 1993;Zikic et al 1998;Vaglio and Landriscina 1999). In fact, there are only a few fish studies that examine the effect of heavy metal toxicity on cardiac tissue (Tort and Madsen 1991;Wang et al 1999), and there are no studies on the myocardial histotoxicity of vanadate oligomers.…”

Acute toxicity and haematological changes in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) caused by diazinon exposure

“…Sastry and Sharma (1980) and Agrahari et al (2007) observed an increase in SGOT and SGPT in the blood of C. punctatus following treatment with mercuric chloride and monocrotophos, respectively. Vaglio and Landriscina (1999), Gupta and Paul (1978) and Palanivelu et al (2005) suggested that liver is rich in SGOT and SGPT, and damage to it could result in liberation of large quantities of these enzymes into the blood. An increase in these enzymes after exposure to pollutants is a sensitive indicator of cellular damage ( Van-Dar et al, 2003;Palanivelu et al, 2005).…”
