Abstract
Lipid peroxidation and the activity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant enzymes in the muscle, liver, kidney, and gill tissues of fish exposed to aluminium chloride are examined in this work. A 96-hour LC50 of aluminium chloride for Labeo rohita revealed a sub-lethal value of 33 ppm. Fish were exposed to different concentrations of aluminium chloride, and the levels of lipid per oxidation (LPO) were assessed in conjunction with the activities of the non-enzymatic antioxidant reduced glutathione (GSH) and enzymatic antioxidants such as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). With p-values below 0.05, the findings showed a substantial rise in lipid peroxidation levels and a fall in superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione activities.
