Popis: The protective effect of different concentrations of leaf extracts of N. crenulata was tested against shampoo induced toxicity. 250mg/L/day of leaf extract brought the protein (25.7 ± 0.11), carbohydrate (30.7 ± 0.8) and lipid (5.13 ± 0.4) contents in its normal level in shampoo intoxicated fish. However, in shampoo intoxicated fish lipid content was found highest and decreasing with the increasing concentration of leaf extracts. Length and weight increased with the increase of leaf extract concentration and was observed equal to normal at 250 mg/L (length 6.63 ± 0.2, weight 3.7 ± 0.7). The results also showed that there is positive correlation between length and weight gain, leaf extract concentration and length gain. These results indicate that aqueous leaf extract of N. crenulata acts as an antidote against shampoo toxicity in L. rohita.
