Evaluation of Genotoxicity Induced by Medicinal Plant Jatropha gossypifolia in Freshwater Fish Channa punctatus (Bloch)
The genotoxic and mutagenic potential of medicinal plant Jatropha gossypifolia, was investigated in fresh water fish Channa punctatus in the present study using micronucleus assay and comet assay. Fishes were exposed at 20% and 40% of the 24 h-LC50 value of plant extract containing Apigenin (76.48 mg L ) and crude latex (22.33 mg L). Both the test chemicals induced significant (P<0.05) genotoxi...
متن کاملBiomarkers of monocrotophos in a freshwater fish Channa punctatus (Bloch).
Activity of a few biomarkers have been investigated on freshwater fish Channa punctatus treated with monocrotophos for acute exposure to 18.56 ppm at 96 hr and subacute exposure viz. 0.46 ppm, 0.96 ppm and 1.86 ppm for 30 days. Biomarkers such as total protein, lipid peroxidation and acetylcholinesterase have been measured in different tissues of fish viz. gills, liver, brain and muscles. The p...
متن کاملEffect of Chromium trioxide on Liver biochemistry of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch)
The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of Chromium trioxide on biochemical parameters of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus exposed to sub lethal concentration for 7, 15, 30 and 60 days. Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Orthophosphoric Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OMP) and Orthophosphoric acid Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OAMP) activities have been analyse...
متن کاملEffect of Arsenic (As2o3) on Haemetological Parameters of Freshwater Air Breathing Fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch)
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found widely in the environment. However, on recent days the level of arsenic in the environment has increased several folds due to its use as pesticide, defoliant, electronics, thermal power plants, wood preservatives and metal industry. Arsenic has been reported as one of the most alarming chemical in the environment [1], present in different forms and...
متن کاملChanges in the hematology of the freshwater fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch) exposed to the toxicity of deltamethrin
The freshwater fishes are an important source of animal protein to human population. They are adversely affected by aquatic pollutants such as pesticides used in agriculture, which are easily washed off into the water bodies. The effect may be direct when the pesticide is absorbed into the body through the skin, gill, intestine, wound, etc. It may be indirect when the pesticide alters the quali...
