TOXIC EFFECT OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF CURRY LEAVES ON ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE IN FISH, CHANNA PUNCTATUS
*Arvind Balasaheb Harkal
Abstract
In the present investigation, the effect of sub- lethal concentration of
Curry leaves aqueous extract on fish Channa punctatus was studied
after 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs and 96 hrs exposure. Different
concentrations of Curry leaves 5ppm/lit, 20ppm/lit) were used against
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and results showed the gradual
increase in the ESR, ranging (7.22-8.00 mmhrs) for 15 pm/lit for (24
hrs - 96 hrs) and (7.46-8.36/lit) for 20ppm/lit, respectively.
Keywords: Curry leaves, Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate, Channa punctatus.
