pubmed:abstractText
The histochemistry of various oxidative enzymes and complex carbohydrates in the epidermis of the catfish Heteropneustes fossils was investigated after exposure to sublethal concentrations of the detergent sodium alkylbenzenesulphonate. It was found that the detergent treatment was accompanied by a marked increase in the number of mucous cells which produce histochemically detectable amounts of acidic glycoproteins with a shift towards the production of O-acetylated sialic acids. The activities of mitochondrial enzymes were lost in the superficial cell layers. In contrast the activities of glucose-6-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase increased considerably. The rise in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was correlated with the metabolic requirements for the enhanced production of mucus under stress. The changes in both enzyme activities and in the chemical composition of mucus may provide a suitable experimental model for histochemical investigations of the effects of stress induced by pollutants on aquatic organisms.
