Figure 1

Effects of different sub-lethal cadmium concentrations on serum enzymes activities. a) Serum aspartate transaminase (AST), b) Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), c) Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in Oncorhynchus mykiss exposed to cadmium. After 30 days, the AST and particularly the ALT levels increased and exhibited a linera pattern. The level of the ALP also showed a significant increase compared to the control group, when the fish were exposed to the both concentrations of cadmium. Data are expressed as mean±standard error (SE). Means with different letters are significantly different from each other (P < 0.05). Values with the same letters are not significantly different.
