Distribution Pattern of Neuroenzyme Acetylcholinesterase in the Olfactory Bulb of an Indian Air Breathing Teleost Channa Punctatus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work deals with the histoenzymological distribution pattern of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (E.C.3.1.1.7) in the different layers of olfactory bulb of Channa punctatus by employing a modified technique to visualize acetylcholinesterase containing neurons. Acetylcholinesterases distribution in the olfactory bulb shows a precise laminar distribution of enzyme which is alternatively mild, strong, weak or negative in the different layers. Layers with maximum enzyme reaction most likely correspond to areas with prevalence of cholinergic mechanism, whereas layers with mild or negative reaction may be considered to be non cholinergic/cholinoceptive.

The in vivo genotoxic potential of Stomp Xtra herbicides was evaluated in a freshwater fish Channa punctatus by assessing mitotic index in the kidney cells and micronuclei in the peripheral blood cells. Fish were exposed to five sub-lethal concentrations of Stomp Xtra containing a.i. pendemethalin at 0.293 (10% of LC50), 0.587 (20% of LC50), 0.881 (30% of LC50), 1.174 (40% of LC50) and 1.468 (5...

Pesticides are applied to control the pests indoor and outdoor; however, their remarkable amount reaches to the aquatic system through various routes like run-off, leaching, spray-drift, effluent from factories. These are reported to have negative metabolic impact on different non-target aquatic organisms like fishes. Thus, present study is aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of two groups of ...
