Abstract

Glutamate dehydrogenase is important amongst the several molecules available in the cells and proteins plays an important role in the cellular process. In the present investigation, fish, Anabas testudineus treated with an equitoxic dose of 11 ppm of lead nitrate and lead acetate were scarified on 1, 4, 8, 12 and 15 days for recovery patterns in liver, muscle, kidney, gill and brain. Lead toxicated fishes recovered after 15 days which depends on the natural physical condition of the fish.
