Alteration in the Glucose Level the Blood of a Fresh Water Fish Labeo Rohita Induced By Azo-Dyes

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to find out the effects of two azodyes Metanil yellow (4- aniline azobenzene-m- sulfonic acid) and Bismark brown ( 2, 4- diamino 3’ aminoazo benzene ) on  the level of Glucose in the blood of a fresh water fish Labeo rohita. The level of Glucose in the blood was found to be elevated at both acute and chronic exposures of both the dyes. The results were statistically highly significant (P< 0.01 ).
