Endosulfan induced changes in phospholipids in the freshwater female catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch).

Histological Studies on Kidney of Cadmium Chloride Exposed Freshwater Catfish , Heteropneustes Fossilis ( Bloch )

Testosterone and estradiol-17 beta dependent phospholipid biosynthesis in ovariectomized catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch).

Effect of cumulative doses (7, 14 and 28 mg kg(-1) body weight) of testosterone (T) and estradiol-17 beta (E2) on total phospholipids (TP), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in tissues were investigated during the gonadal recrudescence, in prespawning phase of the annual reproductive cycle in intact and ovariectomized ...

Microcystin-LR: Effects on Freshwater Catfish Heteropneustes fossilis Prolactin Cells

Background: Previous studies have been reported on the toxicity of Microcystin-LR, which is produced by cyanobacterial growth in fish, such as Heteropneustes fossilis (H. fossilis). However, no studies have been conducted on the effects of Microcystin-LR on the prolactin cells of H. fossilis. Methods: H. fossilis fish were intraperitoneally injected with Microcystin-LR (2.5μg/25g) and sacrif...

Alteration in Ascorbic Acid Level in Alimentary Canal of Heteropneustes Fossilis Induced by Endosulfan

The present paper deals with the effect of endosulfan on Ascorbic acid content in the alimentary canal of Heteropneustes fossilis. This fish exposed so sub lethal concentration of endosulfan for a period of one month. The results revealed that the ascorbic acid content of alimentary canal was decreased in intoxicated fishes.

Effect of Temperature on Mortality and Behavioural Responses in Freshwater Catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) Exposed to Dimethoate

Temperature has significant influence on physio-chemical responses of all living organisms including fish. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature on dimethoate toxicity (96 h static bioassay) to freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis. Fish mortality data were recorded at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h and analysed using EPA Probit analysis, Version 1.5, software based on...
