Mercurial induced brain monoamine oxidase inhibition in the teleost Channa punctatus (Bloch)
Journal Article

· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
Neurotoxic effects of mercurials are well established in a variety of animals including man. In mammals, mercury is known to alter brain monamine synthesis, high affinity uptake and central catecholamine development. However, such investigations on the fishes are meager. In the present communication, mercuric chloride (HgCl2) and organic mercurial fungicide Emisan induced changes in the brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) content in the fish C. punctatus are described.
