Histochemical localization of Acid phosphatase in the tissues of Labeo rohita (Hamilton)

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6

Abstract

Acid phosphatases (AcPs) are known to provide phosphate to tissues that have high energy requirements, especially during development, growth and maturation. AcPs enzyme shows variations in quantity in reproductive phases in gonads, kidney and liver. AcPs is highest in both the sexes in post-spawning phase and lowest in preparatory phase. In male, acid phosphatase activity is maximum in all three tissues i.e gonads, kidney and liver in post-spawning phase and lowest in the preparatory phase as in female. AcPs staining was either granular or in diffuse form in brown deposits. This study is aimed on the estimation of activity of acid phosphatase in kidney, liver and gonads of Labeo rohita.
