Oxidative stress biomarkers in the freshwater fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) exposed to sodium fluoride: antioxidant defense and role of ascorbic acid

January-April 2016 | Toxicology International | Yadav SS, Kumar R, Khare P, Tripathi M. | 22(1):71-6.
The present study highlights fluoride -induced toxicity and the protective role of ascorbic acid in the liver and ovary of freshwater fish, Heteropneustis fossilis. The fish specimens were exposed to different concentrations (35 mg F/L and 70 mg F/L) of fluoride. Parameters related to oxidative stress were studied at the end of the experiment. The biomarkers selected for the study were thiobarbituric acid reactive substances for assessing the extent of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant de
