“…Polysaccharides occur both in free and in bound states along with proteins. The stored glycogen content in tissues is released by anaerobic glycolysis and is utilized to meet the energy requirement when needed (Vijayavel et al 2006b).…”

The present study determined the nutrient composition of three bivalve mussels. The biochemical constituents (protein, carbohydrate, lipid and vitamins), minerals (iron, copper, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and manganese) and carbon, nitrogen and calorific values were evaluated. There was a high degree of variation in biochemical constituents and mineral components among the tested mussels. Perna viridis exhibited good nutritional composition when compared with Donax cuneatus and Meretrix meretrix. The results of this study showed that the samples possessed appreciable quantities of all the dietary elements tested, which could make them partial or complete substitutes for conventional seafood.

“…The decreases showed that carbohydrates are a sensitive toxicological endpoint. Vijayavel et al (2007) demonstrated that chromium exposure reduced carbohydrate levels in the green mussel Perna viridis. Upon depuration, soluble carbohydrate levels increased but not fully back to control within 12 days.…”

<p>Chromium is one of the technical importance metals found in the aquatic environment at increasing concentrations, resulting from metallurgic, refractory, chemical, and tannery industries (Satyaparameshwar et al., 2006). The metal is known to be essential for all animals such as maintenance of normal glucose tolerance (Chassard-Bouchaud et al., 1989). It also involves in metabolisms of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and mineral substances (Pechova & Pavlata 2007). At elevated concentrations, chromium is toxic to mussels, resulting in changes of mRNA expression, immunomodulation, DNA stability, and stress response pathways (Franzellitti et al., 2012). Swan mussels (Anodonta woodiana) living at the interface of the free-flowing water and the sediment phase of many lotic freshwater ecosystems are known to accumulate metals in their body. Mussels require carbohydrates as main energy source for their metabolic processes (Honkoop et al., 1999). Proteins are also required by mussels for catalyzing biochemical reactions, transport and storage of molecules in and out, or within cells, and have structural and mechanical functions (Albert et al., 1994). Proteins and carbohydrates are also important components in the shell formation (Marie et al., 2007; Marin & Luquet 2004). Mantle secretes proteins and carbohydrates into extra pallial fluid, which is directly adjacent to the shell. The objective of this research was to study the effects of Cr on the protein and carbohydrate levels in the mantle of A. woodiana.</p>
