SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO NONYLPHENOL ALTERED MUSCULAR ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM IN CICHLID FISH, ETROPLUS MACULATUS (BLOCH, 1795)
K. P. Asifa and K. C. Chitra*
Abstract Indigenous adult freshwater cichlid fish, Etroplus maculatus was used in the present study in order to assess the short-term effects of one of the environmental contaminants, nonylphenol in muscular tissue of fish. Treatment groups were exposed to nonylphenol at sublethal concentrations (one-fifth and one-tenth of LC50) for short-term duration, ie., 24, 72 and 96 h. Antioxidant parameters were analysed in muscle tissues of both control and treatment groups. Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly (P Keywords: Nonylphenol, muscle, Etroplus maculatus, oxidative stress, ROS. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
