Sodium Cyanide Caused Biochemical Modulations in Liver of Fish Catla Catla
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the pernicious effects of sodium cyanide (NaCN) on some biochemical aspects in the liver of fish Catla catla. Fish which were exposed to a sublethal concentration (0.2 mg/L) of sodium cyanide, for a period of 15 and 30 days and further allowed to undergo a recovery of 30 days, resulted in variation of levels of protein, free amino acid and protease enzyme activity with respect to control. The changes were in a manner that suggested the possible existence an oscillatory phase in biochemical modulations towards a more synthetic phase leading to the establishment of recuperation and adaptation phenomena. As, sodium cyanide is being a toxic component needs attention towards its neutralization prior to its disposal. Hence, it is inferred that necessary wariness should be taken during its discarding, as it possesses a serious threat to fish.
