Abstract

Effect of mercuric chloride, arsenic trioxide & cadmium chloride on total cholesterol alteration in liver and
gonads of a freshwater teleost fish, Amblypharyngodon mola were studied. The fishes were exposed to 0.2291
ppm. mercuric chloride, 1.4557 ppm. Arsenic trioxide and 3.1395 ppm. Cadmium chloride as a chronic
treatment. In experimental groups a progressive decrease in total cholesterol content were found with respect to
exposure period in liver and gonads after chronic exposure to Mercuric chloride, Arsenic trioxide and Cadmium
chloride as compared to control groups.
