Effect of Nonylphenol (NP) LC-50 on Organic Metabolites in some Tissues of Ophiocephalus punctatus (Bloch, 1793)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study the focus was made on the change in organic metabolites like total protein, cholesterol and glycogen in the tissues such as gills, liver, kidney and muscle of O. punctatus on exposure to NP LC-50 for short term duration. It was observed that the total protein and cholesterol significantly increased but glycogen decreased in all the tissues. It is concluded that the increased in total proteins and cholesterol may be due to enhanced metabolic activity, however decreased glycogen level in the tissues can be attributed to metabolic stress induced by NP and there may be the chances of inducing the enzymes that involve in the process of glycogenolysis.
