Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems have been negatively
affected by the contamination of ground and surface waters as a result of
various activities. Due to the ferrous chloride (FeCl₂), which is
used as the reducing agent for the organic synthesis reactions in the
contamination of water column and sediment, iron salts may be very toxic for
some aquatic organisms. In order to minimize these effects, natural products
such as zeolite have been widely used in recently years. For this reason,
rainbow trout were exposed to FeCl₂ and/or zeolite ((FeCl₂
(0.002 mg/l)(A), FeCl₂+zeolite (0.002 mg/l+1 gr/l) (B), zeolite (1
gr/l) (C) and control (without FeCl₂ and/or zeolite (D)).  At the end of the exposure time,  28 days and their oxidative stress responses
were investigated. At the end of the treatment period, glutathione-S-transferase
(GST) activity was determined in the samples taken from kidney. GST values for
kidney tissues were found statistically important in the control and treatment
groups (p<0.01).
