Effect of Nitrite Toxicity in Carbohydrate Metabolism to Fresh Water Fish Cirrhinus Mrigala

Abstract

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to evaluate about the glucose, glycogen content in liver and muscle in fresh water fish Cirrhinus mrigala exposed to nitrite toxicity. Plasma glucose level of Cirrhinus mrigala exposed to sublethal toxicity (28.31) of nitrite exhibited a significant increase throughout the study period (Table 20 and Fig. 19). The significant increase in plasma glucose level was directly proportional to the exposure period showing a minimum percent increase of 3. 69, 5.55, 13.34, 20.53

Histopathological Changes in the Kidney of the Freshwater Bronze Featherback Fish, Notopterus notopterus (Pallas, 1769) Exposed to Profenofos

“…The present experimental study, exhibited the presence of vacuoles in the tubules and necrosis of kidney tubules in Profenofos (Curacron 50% EC) exposed fish, N notopterus. A similar observation was made in the kidney of Channa punctatus exposed to heavy metal by Pandey et al [11] and Cirrhinus mrigala exposed to nitrate by Yasudas Thangam [12].…”
