“…). According to Subbotkina and Subbotkin (, ), regularity of the lysozyme distribution in some tissues of burbot ( Lota lota ), pollock ( Theragra chalcogramma ) and sturgeons were liver>spleen>kidney, liver>kidney>spleen and kidney>spleen>liver respectively. In the present study, the lysozyme level had the highest value in the liver of both sex of the Caspian kutum and followed by spleen and head kidney.…”

“…The distribution of lysozyme that has been found in fish mucus, serum and tissues rich in leucocytes such as kidney, spleen, thymus and liver (Ellis ) is different in the fish body. The lysozyme enzyme was analysed in the kidney, spleen and liver of in 8 fish species of order Gadiformes and Pleuronectiformes (Subbotkina & Subbotkin ). The cods (Gadiformes) are characterized by very low level of the enzyme activity in some organs while the flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) showed diversity and distribution of lysozyme in the organs.…”

Lysozyme levels in the head kidney, spleen and liver tissues of the male and female Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) were measured under monthly temperature variations and gonadal growth. The lysozyme content in all tissues of the male and female of the Caspian kutum showed almost a significant decreasing trend from October to March, coinciding with the lowest sea surface temperature and afterwards, it increased in April and May. In vitellogenic stage of the ovarian growth, the lysozyme level decreased in all three tissues and then increased significantly in the spawning stage. Over testicular growth, lysozyme level showed no remarkable variations from the early maturing to developed stages but increased in the spermiation stage. The regularity of lysozyme level in both sexes of the Caspian kutum was liver>spleen>head kidney. The effectiveness ratio (partial Eta 2 ) of temperature and gonadal growth in the lysozyme variations showed that temperature factor was more highlight than gonadal growth. In conclusion, the liver similar to the kidney and spleen plays an essential role against pathogen as an organ of lysozyme producing in the Caspian kutum. In addition, the female lysozyme level was higher than the male in all studied tissues.
