摘要:The effects of lead on sera glucose, protein and cholesterol concentrations and on hematocrit
levels of Anguilla anguilla exposed to 0.06 and 0.12 ppm lead were studied over 15 and 30
days. Sera parameters and hematocrit levels were determined by spectrophotometric and microhematocrit
methods, respectively. No mortality was observed during the experiments. Sera
glucose and protein levels showed a linear increase and a decrease respectively under the effect
of lead. Sera cholesterol levels decreased compared to control over 15 days of exposure to both
concentrations and this decrease was not significant between the concentrations on day 30.
Lead concentrations 0.12 ppm lead did not cause any variation in hematocrit level, while 0.06
ppm lead increased it compared to control.. Changes in sera parameters and hematocrit levels
of A. anguilla under the effect of lead can be attributed to restoration of homeostasis against
the stress conditions caused by the metal.
