Abstract
The effects of hypoxia and paraquat (PQ) were investigated on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in carp gill, liver and brain. Increases in SOD activity occurred in these organs following exposure to both PQ and hypoxia. PQ administration under hypoxic conditions significantly increased the SOD activity in the gill as compared to the level in animals in an hypoxic state without PQ treatment. No such change was observed in the liver or brain.Keywords
