For the chronic toxicity study adult fish, Danio rerio were divided in to two groups. First group was experimental group in which fish were consecutively treated with a graded series of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 mg/l an average 60 nm PVP coated AgNPs. Treatment was given for 21 days at the end of experimental period. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) in gill, liver and muscle tissues were assayed. The levels of Catalase (CAT), was found to be decreased were as the Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) were found to be increased significantly in gill, liver and muscle tissue of AgNPs treated fish.Read More
