Cadmium (Cd) is one of the toxic metals in the aquatic environment. This study was designed to examine the effects of Cd on the activities of ALT and AST and the concentrations of TP in plasma of freshwater turtle Mauremys reevesii. Experiment turtles were exposed to Cd at the concentration of 15 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection. The activities of ALT and AST and the concentrations of TP were investigated. Compared with the controls, the activities of ALT and AST in plasma of the treated turtles significantly increased. The concentrations of TP were comparable between the treated turtles and the controls except that were higher than the control turtles in 14 days (14 d) and 56 days (56 d). As a result that turtles exposed to Cd were led to liver function damage.
镉(Cd)是水生环境中的有毒金属之一。本研究旨在探讨镉对中华鳖(Mauremys reevesii)血浆中转氨酶(ALT 和 AST)活性和总蛋白(TP)浓度的影响。实验龟通过腹腔注射暴露于 15mg/kg 的镉。检测 ALT 和 AST 活性以及 TP 浓度。与对照组相比,处理组龟血浆中 ALT 和 AST 的活性显著升高。TP 浓度在处理组龟和对照组龟之间无差异,但在 14 天(14d)和 56 天(56d)时高于对照组龟。结果表明,镉暴露导致龟肝功能受损。
