“…This may be due to the protective role of zinc against cadmium toxicity, because zinc, being a less toxic metal, occupies the sulfhydryl group (SH group), which acts as the receptor site on plasma membrane. The partial occupation of zinc receptor sites blocks them and prevent its occupation by more toxic metals like cadmium and by promoting the oxygen uptake even in toxicated conditions (Shaffi et al 2001). Furthermore, the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and its occupation of the Hb surface area due to the presence of zinc can also be considered responsible for counteracting the cadmium toxicity.…”

“…Phosphorus alleviation of cadmium phototoxicity in plants has also been reported by Sajwan et al (2002). Studies have also shown that other metals, vitamins, chelating agents and protein diets, which alter the physiological, biochemical and behavioural aspects in fish, also influence cadmium mobility and toxicity (Verma et al 1981;Shaffi et al 2001).…”

“…Zinc is known to neutralise the toxic effect of cadmium, prevent tissue necrosis and influence the susceptibility to cadmium because zinc appears to be a competitive ion to cadmium (Shaffi et al 2001). In this study, the fish Catla catla was selected based upon its economic value, easy availability and wide consumption by the people.…”

The haematological (Hb, RBC, WBC) and biochemical (protein and glucose) profiles of a freshwater fish Catla catla were studied under sub-lethal toxicity of cadmium chloride for 25 days (Treatment I). In addition, the influence of zinc on cadmium toxicity was investigated for haematological and biochemical parameters (Treatment II). In both the experiments, blood haemoglobin and plasma protein level decreased in the treated fish. However, WBC, RBC and plasma glucose levels were increased in Treatment I, while Treatment II showed mixed results. In Treatment II the alterations of both haematological and biological parameters were minimal compared with Treatment I. The alterations of these parameters are discussed as non-specific biomarkers against metal toxicity in aquatic organisms.

“…Cd ?2 and Zn ?2 in natural water mostly coexist. Zn ?2 is a competitive ion for Cd ?2 and prevent the toxic effect of this metal (Shaffi et al 2001). Zn ?2 is an essential trace element and its role in animal and human health has been well documented for many years ago Remyla et al 2008).…”

The short term effects of waterborne cadmium (Cd(+2)) on the levels of serum parameters related to bone metabolism including calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphorus (P(i)) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in common carp fish (Cyprinus carpio L.) were studied. Fish were treated with varying concentrations of Cd(+2) (0.22, 1.1 and 2.2 mg l(-1)) daily for 14 days. The results obtained show that serum P(i) and ALP concentrations were elevated by increasing Cd(+2) concentration in water containing fish whereas serum Ca level was decreased. At the same time, the protective role of waterborne zinc (Zn(+2), 1 mg l(-1)) on the same parameters was also investigated. Results showing that daily treatment of fish with Zn(+2), increased the concentrations of Ca and ALP in serum by 2.07 and 1.86 fold and decreased serum P(i) level by 57.7% in comparison with Cd(+2) treatment. The combination of Cd(+2) and Zn(+2) on the same parameters was studied next. There was a significant (P < 0.05) elevation in serum Ca and ALP levels in comparison with Cd(+2) treatment. Decreasing in serum P(i) level was not significant in comparison with Cd(+2) treatments. The protective effect of Zn(+2) on Cd(+2) disturbances in serum parameters related to bone metabolism in this manuscript has been also discussed.

“…Exposure of fish to heavy metals could have widespread detrimental effects on their health [15]. Some of the physiological effects of chronic exposure to waterborne cadmium at sub-lethal levels are manifested in the form of disturbances in respiration [16,17], reduction in growth [18], disruption in whole-body or plasma ion regulation [19,20], changes in hematology [21-24], enzyme activity [24,25] and other blood parameters, such as glucose, total protein, triglyceride and cortisol that reveal the stress response in fish [26,27]. …”

Effects of cadmium at sub-lethal concentration on growth and biochemical parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Cadmium (Cd), as one of heavy metals and an environmental stressor, may alter many physiological processes like growth and serum parameters in fish. The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of cadmium at sub-lethal concentrations (1 and 3 μg/l) on growth and serum biochemical parameters including enzymes, i.e. alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and total protein in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Trout were exposed to cadmium, and, at intervals of 1, 15, and 30 days, selected parameters were evaluated. Condition Factor (K), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and Body Weight Gain (BWG) consistently decreased, while Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) increased at the end of experiment. Glucose was elevated in trout exposed to both Cd concentrations at day 15 and then returned to levels comparable to control fish. Triglyceride and cholesterol decreased transiently at day 15 and then increased at day 30. Total protein, AST, ALT and ALP increased linearly by time and Cd concentration. This investigation suggests that growth and serum biochemical parameters could be used as important and sensitive biomarkers in ecotoxicological studies concerning the effects of metal contamination and fish health.
