ABSTRACT
Lead nitrate is one of the most common heavy metal that effect adversely on fresh water fishes. In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the mechanism of adverse effects of lead nitrate in fresh water fish, Channa striatus after exposure to various concentrations of lead nitrate. We measured changes in lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl content in the muscle of C. striatus as a marker of oxidative stress after exposure to different concentrations (8, 18 and 28 mg/l) of lead nitrate for a period of 30, 60 and 90 days. Our observations showed a significant increase (P˂0.05) in lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl content with increase in concentration of lead nitrate at various time intervals in the muscle of fish. Results of the present study revealed an increase in oxidative stress in the muscle of C. striatus with increased concentration of lead nitrate and duration of exposure.
Key words: Lead nitrate, Muscle, C. striatus, Lipid peroxidation, Protein carbonyl content.
