Study of carbohydrate metabolism in selected tissues of freshwater mussel, Lamellidens marginalis under copper sulphate toxicity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sublethal toxicity of copper sulphate on carbohydrate metabolism was studied in selected tissues of freshwater mussel, Lamellidens marginalis. Levels of glycogen and pyruvic acid decreased while lactic acid showed an increase. Activities of LDH, SDH and MDH decreased while G-6-PDH activity increased. There appears to be a shift in the carbohydrate metabolism from aerobic to anaerobic type due to toxicity of copper.

Considering the site (habitat) specific variations in the metabolic activities in the freshwater bivalves, we reported here the changes in the rate of oxygen consumption, rate of ammonia excretion and O: N ratio in the freshwater bivalve mollusc, Lamellidens marginalis (Lamark) from lotic and lentic water habitats on April-May during summer season. The adult freshwater bivalves, Lamellidens mar...
متن کاملAnalysis of AchE and LDH in mollusc, Lamellidens marginalis after exposure to chlorpyrifos.
The enzymes Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and Lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) are used as biological markers in the present study. Enzymes are highly sensitive and used to evaluate the biological effects of organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos in freshwater mussel Lamellidens marginalis. The test organisms were exposed to sub-lethal concentration (5 ppm) of chlorpyrifos for 30 days and allowed to re...
متن کاملRole of Cerebral Ganglia in Regulation of Oxygen Consumption of Freshwater Bivalve Mollusc, Indonaia Caeruleus (prashad, 1918) from Godavari River during Summer
Many exogenous factors (temperature, salinity, pH, light, oxygen tension, turbidity etc.) affect the rate of oxygen consumption in bivalve molluscs (Bayne, 1976; Samant and Agrawal, 1978). Most of the vital activities in bivalves are regulated by neuroendocrine centers. The respiratory rate data of the animals reflect their general metabolic rate. The existence of neuroendocrine modulations of ...
متن کاملEffect of tannery wastewater on the biochemical constituents of fresh water bivalve, Lamellidens marginalis
The effect of tannery wastewater on the biochemical constituents of fresh water bivalve, Lamellidens marginalis was studied. The acute toxicity study was carried out to determine lethal concentration. Bivalves were exposed to different sublethal concentrations of tannery wastewater for 10 and 20 days. The biochemical changes in the protein, glycogen, lactic acid and cholesterol, in the tissues ...
