METHOD FOR MEASURING POLLUTION LEVEL OF OCEAN USING BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PLEURONICHTHYS CORNUTUS

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided is a method for rapidly measuring pollution level of the ocean using biochemical analysis of Pleuronichthys cornutus, which helps a stable supply of noncontaminated marine products. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises measuring contents of malondialdehyde(MDA), LDL(low density lipoprotein) cholesterol(LDL-Chol) and hemoglobin, as well as activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSHPx) in serum extracted from Pleuronichthys cornutus using a typical biochemical analysis. The ratio of the measured values(LDL-Chol/Hb, MDA/GSHPx) is used as biochemical index of oceanic pollution. The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA), LDL(low density lipoprotein) cholesterol(LDL-Chol) and hemoglobin, as well as activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSHPx) in serum are measured by using kit.
