Description 299-302
The effect of heavy metals, copper, zinc and
lead, on the enzyme activity of the green mussel Perna viridis was
experimentally evaluated. A significant reduction in the activities of GOT, GPT
and LDH in the adductor muscle of zinc-treated animals could be observed.
Activity of ALP was found to increase when compared to that in the control
animals after seven days of treatment. Copper and lead were found to increase
the activity of GOT, GPT and LDH in the adductor muscle compared to the control
animals. LDH activity was found to be enhanced by copper treatment, while lead
treatment inhibited the LDH activity after an initial rise on the fourth day.
All the enzymes showed high activity in the
intestinal diverticula.
