Aim: To evaluate serum hepatic changes induced by lead acetate (PbA) and the ameliorative effect of aqueous extract of Adansonia digitata fruit pulp (AEADFP) in Clarias gariepinus.
Methods: A total of 120 Clarias gariepinus (185 ± 5 g) were assigned randomly into 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E and F) of n=20. Group A was administered borehole water for 35 days; Group B, C, D, E and F were administered PbA for 14 days and subsequently borehole water, 195 mg/L of AEADFP, 390 mg/L of AEADFP, 585 mg/L of AEADFP and 15 mg/L of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), respectively, for 21 days. Four fish per group were randomly selected on weekly basis for serum biochemical analysis of hepatic function markers.
Results: There was significant (p
