Lead nitrate induced histochemical alteration in the liver of freshwater fish Mystus bleekeri (Day)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The present investigation deals with the effect of treatment of Lead nitrate, on the histochemical components of liver from freshwater fish, Mystus bleekeri. This fish was exposed to the 1/5th of LC50 concentration of Lead nitrate in laboratory conditions for duration of 24, 48 and 96 hrs. The histochemical observation revealed that the proteins, lipids and glycogen were depleted. Lead nitrate toxicity was found time dependent. As the fish, Mystus bleekeri is consumed by people; it is essential to know the effect Lead nitrate on histochemical changes in liver.
