Popis: Changes in blood properties and the chemical components, histology and isometric twitch tension of lateral muscle were studied in carp, Cyprinus carpio L., showing clinical signs of sekoke disease induced by a diet containing oxidized oil. When compared to normal fish, sekoke fish were found to have significantly lower mean blood pH, haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration and muscle water content. However, plasma lactate, lipoperoxide and total lipid concentrations were significantly higher in sekoke fish. It was found that in sekoke fish the maximum tension and the number of isometric twitches leading to complete fatigue of lateral muscle were greatly reduced. Histological studies confirmed that these reductions were related to the degree of structural damage within this tissue.
