Effect of Heavy Metals on Lysosomal Enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase Activity of Bivalve L. marginalis…..
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract: Enzymes are referred as biological, catalysts which obey certain general rules. The literature shows investigative lacunae with regard to effects of heavy metals on Alkaline phosphatase activity of aquatic animals especially where fresh water molluscs are concerned. Hence an attempt has been made to study the effect of heavy metals CuSO4, HgCl2 and CdCl2 on fresh water bivalve, Lamellidens Marginalis with respect to change in the level of alkaline phosphatase enzymes. The concentrations higher than those needed to prevent oxidative phosphorylation damage the mitochondrial network to a degree where the action enzyme involved in oxidative metabolism is blocked. Alkaline phosphatase showed a constant decrease after the heavy metal stress.
