SEASONAL VARIATION ON ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM OF LIVER OF DUTTAPHRYNUS MELANOSTICTUS

ABSTRACT

Body condition a reliable indicator of energetic condition, has an important ?tness consequence. Natural population of Duttaphrynus melanostictus in response to environmental cues shows several physiologic changes such as reproductive activity, hibernation, aestivation and metabolic depression in different seasons. Duttaphrynus melanostictus were collected from local area in North Orissa University in Baripada, Mayurbhanj in different seasons like summer, rainy, winter. We evaluated the seasonal variation of liver and kidney tissue in Asian common toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus in different statistical methods. The lipid peroxidation (LPX), reduced glutathione (GSH), protein content activity in liver tissue were measured in different season
