SOME ENZYMATIC AND HEMATOLOGIC PARAMETERS OF NILE FISH (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) IN ZINC (Zn) AND ZINC+OLEUOROPEIN (Zn+OE) EXPOSURE
Abstract
Nile fish,
Oreochromis niloticus, were exposed to sublethal concentrations of zinc (Zn)
and oleuropein (OE), olive leaf extracts, mixtures. Hematological parameters
RBC and Hb, also serum AST and ALT enzymatic activities were investigated. Fish
were exposed to 2.0 mg/L of ZnCl2 (0.25 of Zn LC50) and Zn+OE mixture (2.0 mg/L
Zn+2.0 mg/L OE) for 7 days. Enzymatic parameters of fish blood were determined
by spectrophotometric method. Hematological results (RBC and HB) were
significantly increased with Zn exposure (p<0.05). However, Zn+OE mix was
significantly decreased. The Zn exposure to O. niloticus increased enzymatic
parameters (ALT and AST). But, the mixture of Zn+OE caused an reduce for the
toxic effect of Zn on enzymatic parameters. The results of our study showed
that OE has a protective effect against toxicity induced by Zn. All
hematological and enzymatic parameters were found to be statistically
significant (p<0.05) in Zn+OE concentrations.
