Effect of Nickel on Antioxidant Enzyme (Superoxide Dismutase aney of Duttapnd Catalase) of Kidhrynus melanostictus

Volume : (3), Issue : 211, January - 2019

Abstract :  Duttaphrynus melanostictus were divided into four groups as A, B, C and D. Eeach group comprising of five ani- mals. Animals of group A (control) were given orally 50 µl of distilled water. The experimental animals of group B, C and D were administered orally with 50 µl (=50 µg) of nickel.  The animals were sacrificed after different time intervals such as 0h (group A),24h (group B), 48h (group C) and 72h (group D). The superoxide dismutase and catalase of kidney at different time intervals were measured and compared.
