Protein metabolism and acetylcholinesterase In tilapia fish as an indicator to evaluate the pollution in large drains in Egypt [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Environmental –pollution is one of the most deleterious agents to the biological life. The aquatic environment with its water quality is considered the main factor controlling the state of health and disease in both cultured and wild fish. Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of deleterious effects of pollutants in the aquatic ecosystem. Some biochemical parameters such as total soluble protein, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and acetylcholinesterase were determined among two seasons in fish samples (Oreochronnis niloticus) collected from two drains El-Bats and El-Wadi draining Qarun Lake, El Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. The data showed a significant increase in total soluble protein, ALP, ALT in the liver and muscle tissues in the two seasons while the AST and ACh-E were inhibited in the same fish samples.
