Toxicological effects of sublethal microcystin-LR exposure in Labeo rohita: histopathological, ultrastructural, immunological, and biochemical impairments
Based on these findings, it is deduced that even sublethal levels of MC-LR can disrupt intrinsic antioxidant defences, immune responses, and detoxification mechanisms in rohu, potentially compromising fish health in natural ecosystems. This is the first report to detail long-term impacts in rohu, elucidating the mechanism of damage induced by MC-LR and also providing valuable insights for environmental monitoring and toxin management.
