Effect of dietary vitamin E on biochemical, oxidative stress and immunological parameters in Nile tilapia exposed to penoxsulam
Abstract
This study was performed to determine the median lethal concentration (96-h LC50) of penoxsulam (PNX) in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fingerlings and to investigate the protective effect of vitamin E (Vit E) against biochemical and immunological alterations induced by two sublethal concentrations of PNX (1/10 and 1/20 of 96-h LC50). The 96-h LC50 of PNX was found to be 3.1 mg l−1. Fish was exposed to sublethal concentrations of PNX for 45 days. The fish exposed to Vit E + PNX...
