Farmers have greatly embraced the use of herbicides in the control of weed and glyphosate-based herbicides are usually the herbicide of choice widely popular. This project is to evaluate the changes in the concentration of nitric oxide in serum, gills, brain, liver, and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosate-based herbicides. Twenty (20) Clarias gariepinus divided into four groups (A, B, C, and D) i.e n 5 were used for this experiment. Group A was without herbicide exposure (control), groups B, C and D were exposed to 60mg/l, 80mg/l and 100mg/l of glyphosate respectively for 14days after which fish were sacrificed and biochemical analysis carried out. The results showed that the concentrations of nitric oxide as compared to the control increased significantly (p 0.05) in the gills, brain, liver, and kidney of Clarias gariepinus. In conclusion, this study reveals that exposing Clarias gariepinus to glyphosate-based herbicides upset metabolic processes in the fish hence expressing toxicity and also implies poor environmental fitness for fish exposed to herbicides in the natural environment and thus, herbicide contamination in aquatic life should be curtailed....Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
