ABSTRACT
Kanani HG, Shahsavani
D, Baghishani H., Effect of exposure to sublethal levels of potassium cyanide on serum and tissue
enzymes in roach fish (Rutilus rutilus). Onl J Vet Res., The effect of a
30 day exposure to 0.2 and 0.4 mg/L potassium cyanide (KCN) on serum and tissue
enzymes of the common roach fish Rutilus rutilus is described. Results were compared with
non-exposed fish. Alkaline phosphatase
(ALT) declined in 0.2 mg/L KCN. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reduced in kidney
and brain whereas liver and serum LDH increased at both KCN doses. Serum, brain
and gill ALT increased with 0.4mg/L KCN. Rhodanese
increased in liver and kidney with both doses but not in gill (p>0.05).
Key words: Cyanide, poisoning, Rutilus rutilus,
tissue enzyme
