Effect of ferrous sulphate on aspartate and alanine aminotransferases of brain of Tilapia mossambica.

Iron in the form of ferrous sulphate coming from sources such as mines, writing inks, blue pigments, dyeing industries, photography, medicine, deodorizers, disinfectants, fungicides and molluscides, etc. contributes in elevating ferrous sulphate of water bodies. The present study investigated the action of ferrous sulphate on the local fish Tilapia mossambica.

Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities of rat brain during crush syndrome.

Crush syndrome develops due to muscle crush injury often found in patients extricated from prolonged compression after disasters. It leads to rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure and hypovolemic shock, followed by decreased blood supply, to tissue under compression and general body parts including brain. In the present study, experimental model of crush syndrome in albino rats was induced by, 2h of compression followed by 48 h of decompression, of femoral muscle tissue.
