Biochemical changes in serum liquids associated with A hydrophila infection in fresh water armout catfish [CLazera]

ABSTRACT

The mean values +/- SE of the total concentrations of various lipid parameters, viz. lipids, triacylglycerols, non-esterified fatty acids, phospholipids and cholesterol were assayed under experimental aeromoniasis [A. hydrophila] in common fresh-water Armout catfish [C. lazera]. The data obtained showed that the concentrations of total lipids, triacylglycerols, non-esterified fatty acids and total cholesterol started to decline from the first day and attained their minimum values by the end of the seventh day post-infection. Thereafter, the values showed a tendency to regain their normal levels by the end of the 14th day following experimental infection. Serum total phospholipids concentration increased after infection and attained its maximum value by the end of seventh day and again restored its pre-infection normal value on day 14 post-infection
