CuSO4 data tables.

Copper is an important element involved in the catalysis of many vital reactions in the body of an organism. However, excessive copper causes cellular damage by accelerating the production of reactive oxygen species and disrupting the physiological reactions. The present research was conducted to determine the toxicological effects including oxidative stress profile, concentrations of anti-oxidant enzymes and genotoxicity of three different doses (0.28 µg/L, 0.42 µg/L and 0.56 µg/L) of copper sulphate (CuSO4) subjected to Labeo rohita for 36days. Micronucleus test indicated a significant (p 4. Moreover, CuSO4 exhibited significant (p 4causesevere biochemical and physiological disruptions in different organs of Labeo rohita, hence, considered as hazardous even at very low sub-lethal concentrations.
