| Abstract |
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of lead (Pb) and lead + zinc (Zn) combination on the oxidative stress, total ATPase and Pb accumulation in the tissues of Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758). The fish were exposed to 0.1 mg/L Pb (T1), 1.0 mg/L Pb (T2) and mixtures of 0.1 mg/L Pb and 0.5 mg/L Zn (M1); 1.0 mg/L Pb and 5.0 mg/L Zn (M2) for 7 and 21 days. Pb accumulation, total ATPase activity, several antioxidant enzyme activities such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances concentrations were measured in the liver and kidney tissues. Metal accumulation in the tissues was higher in Pb exposure compare with mixtures of Pb and Zn exposures. Beside the inhibition of liver GPX activity, general increases of antioxidant enzyme activities in the tissues were recorded after metal exposures. This investigation emphasizes the oxidative stress in O. niloticus caused by Pb, and adaptation of the organisms to the changes in enzyme activities. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2018.
All research outputs
#14,893,418
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#2,412
of 4,112 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#243,585
of 452,350 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#8
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,112 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 452,350 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
