ABSTRACT

Effects of Spirulina on tissue enzymes
in carp (Cyprinus carpio)
exposed to sublethal cyanide, Onl J Vet Res., 19(2): 108-115, 2015. Groups of carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed to 0.4ppm cyanide and supplemented
or not with 10% spirulina for 30 days. Values were compared
with normal controls. Liver aspartate amino transferase
(AST) and alanine
aminotransferase,
kidney lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),
and brain AST increased (P<0.05), in fish exposed to cyanide compared with controls. Cyanide exposure
had no significant effect on tissue alkaline phosphatase or rhodanese. However, kidney LDH and brain AST in
fish supplemented with spirulina
did not differ significantly from control values.
