Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pollen extract on biochemical parameters in muscle and gill tissues of rainbow trout. Various concentrations of the pollen extract (0.5, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 30 ppm) for 96 h was applied on muscle and gills of forty nine rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), total free sulfhydryl groups were determined. MDA level decreased (P<0.05) at the dose rate of 10-30 ppm concentration in muscle while in gills the level of 10 ppm was the most effective. The dose rate of 10 ppm was effective in TAS, TOS and OSI for muscle and gill tissues. The highest value of total free sulfhydryl groups was found at the dose rare of 5 and 10 ppm in muscle and tissues respectively. It is concluded that pollen extract on muscle and gill tissues of fish is effective in prevention of oxidative stress.
