Abstract
ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE ACTIVITY IN HEPATOPANCREAS OF THE FRESHWATER MUSSELS, LAMELLIDENS CORRIANUS AFTER ZINC EXPOSURES
P. R. Mahajan*
ABSTRACT
In present study to investigate the antioxidant defence activity (Catalase activity) in hepatopancreas of the freshwater mussels, Lamellidens corrianus after zinc exposures. The mussels were divided into two groups, the group A kept as control and group B mussels expose in chronic concentration of Zinc sulphate (0.320 ppm) upto 18 days. Catalase activities in hepatopancreas of control and experimental mussels from A and B groups were estimated after 6,12 and 18 days. During experimentation mussels feed on freshwater algae. CAT showed a significant increased activity with increasing exposure period of heavy metal, ZnSO4. Catalase activity (CAT) was measured following the decrease of absorbance at 240 nm due to H2O2 consumption (Luck H.1974).
