“…Results of the present work revealed that, cholesterol increased significantly in blood of C. gariepinus after exposure to mercury. Similar results were recorded in the serum of Channa punctatus (Kaur and Kaur, 2006) and Cirrhina mrigala (Kumar et al, 2005), Labeo rohita (Vaseem and Banerjee, 2012) due to exposure to other pollutants. The increase of cholesterol level may be attributed to dysfunction of liver causing release of additional amounts of cholesterol into the blood (Vaseem and Banerjee, 2012).…”

“…The presence of pollutants in aquatic environment exerts its impacts at cellular or molecular levels which leads to significant alterations in biochemical compositions of the organisms (Vaseem and Banerjee, 2012). Biochemical parameters such as urea, creatinine, Na and K are biomarkers for kidney function, and represent the best indicators of stress impacts caused by mercury (Mahmoud et al 2012).…”

This study aimed to determine the toxic impacts of a sublethal dose of mercury chloride (0.10 mg/L for 30 days as exposure period) on hematological, biochemical parameters and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, and to evaluate the ability of vitamin E, selenium and water to improve and recover the previous parameters in mercury-treated fish (for 15 and 30 days as recovery periods). The exposure to mercury caused a significant (p<0.05) decrease in RBCs, Hb, Ht, MCH, MCHC, MCV, WBCs, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, potassium, albumin, Alb/glob ratio, triglycerides, glucose and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) when compared with the control group. Also, exposure to mercury caused a significant increase (p<0.05) in levels of Na, urea, creatinine, ALP, AST, ALT, total proteins and globulins levels than those of the control fish. The ability of vitamin E and selenium to improve and recover the hematological and biochemical parameters and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) studied were better than water alone. Also, the improvement was mostly better after 30 days than 15 days of recovering period. The recovery with water alone led to complete recovery only in MCHC. While, all the remaining of hematological parameters studied in addition to cholesterol and glucose levels are improved significantly (increased/decreased) to be relatively better than those of the mercury-treated fish. The levels of urea, creatinine, ALP, AST, ALT, TP, albumin, globulins and Alb/glob ratio, T3 and T4 are not improved well by the water. But, Na levels is not affected by the water. The levels of K and triglycerides are increased to high levels than that of the control fish. The recovery with vitamin E led to complete recovery in Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC and Na to reach the control level (p<0.05); and significantly (p<0.05) improved RBCs, Hct, WBCs, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes, urea, creatinine, ALP, AST, globulin, Alb/glob ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose to be better than those of the mercurytreated fish. K and albumin levels are fluctuated. While ALT, TP decreased significantly. But, T3 and T4 are not improved well by Vitamin E. The recovery with selenium led to complete recovery in MCH, neutrophils, lymphocytes, total proteins and globulins levels (p<0.05); and significantly helped improvement (increased/decreased) of RBCs, Hb, Hct, WBCs, monocytes, urea, creatinine, ALP, AST, ALT, Alb/glob ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, T3 and T4 to be better than those of the mercury-treated fish. But, Na, and albumin are not improved well by selenium. Potassium levels showed fluctuations. ALT and TP decreased significantly to be less than that of the control values. Also, it was noted that, the improvement of T3 and T4 due to Selenium (Se) are better than vitamin E than the mercury-free water respectively.

Effect of the effluent generated during extraction of precious metals from polymetallic sea nodules have been illustrated by analyzing the biochemical alterations in freshwater fish Labeo rohita. Increase or decrease in the different biomolecules in various tissues (skin, muscles, gills, liver, kidney, and brain) observed was discussed in the light of stress caused by exposures of this effluent. Decrease in concentration of glycogen, total lipids, cholesterol, and total protein in most of the tissues indicate their role in providing the continuous energy requirement under toxic stress in the exposed fish. Reduced DNA and RNA concentration in exposed fish showed effluent toxic effect on DNA synthesis and transcriptional level. With the prolongation of exposure, reduction in activities of aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, and alkaline phosphatase were observed in all the exposed tissues indicating their cellular degeneration. In conclusion, the sea nodule effluent was found to be very toxic and have negative health impact on the fish.

The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of Elaeagnus angustifolia fruit extract (EAFE) on hematology, biochemical parameters, liver enzymes and damage of different tissues of male mice exposed to graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO NPs). In this research, 48 mice were divided into six groups. Hematology parameters including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), hematocrit (Ht), and hemoglobin (Hb), biochemical parameters such as cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, protein, albumin, creatinine and bilirubin, liver enzymes including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and histological damage of liver, kidney, lung and testis of mice were investigated. The results show that GO NPs in both concentrations (30 and 60 mg/kg/bw) decrease the number of RBC compared to the control group (p < 0.05). EAFE has no effect on RBC count while EAFE in combination with both concentrations of 30 and 60 mg/kg/bw GO NPs significantly (p < 0.05) improves the RBC count of mice. Also, the results show that EAFE improves the number of WBC, Ht, Hb, and biochemical parameters of mice exposed to different concentrations of GO NPs. A series of morphological changes were observed in the RBC of rats exposed to 60 mg/kg/bw GO NPs, including Dacrocyte, Poikilocyte and Schistocyte, which EAFE can improve the morphological changes caused in RBC. A series of histological damages such as degeneration and dilatation in the central vein in liver tissue, thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration in the renal capsule, peribronchiolar inflammatory cell infiltration and congestion in peribronchiolar blood vessels in lung tissue and decrease in the height of the germinal epithelium and a decrease in the population of spermatozoid cells in spermatogenic cells were observed in the testis of mice exposed to 60 mg/kg/bw GO NPs. The results show that EAFE can improve the damage caused by GO NPs in the liver, kidney and lung tissues, while it has no effect on the damage in the mice testis tissue. Therefore, GO NPs cause damage in the blood and different tissues of mice, and the use of EAFE can be effective in improving these damages.
