A Comparison between The Effect of Sub-lethal Doses of Atraz,ine and DDT on Brain and Plasma Acetylcholinesterase of the African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
Abstract:ABSTRACT. The effect of in vivo exposure to two sublethal concentrations of atrazine and one concentration of DOT on acetylcholinesterase in brain and plasma of the fresh water fish Clarias gariepinus was measured. BloQd and brain were taken after various periods of exposure (3-168 hr for atrazine and 3-24 hr f9r DOT). Controls were treated parallel. A real inhibition of brain AChE specific activity was detected by exposure hr 6 at the lower atrazine concentratiolI and by exposure hr 9 at the higher concentrat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
