Figure 1:

Changes in free thyroid hormones levels in blood of Channa punctatus exposed to sublethal concentration (30%) of Lithium in different exposure days. Values are expressed as mean ± SD for above observation. – or + indicate percent decrease or increase over control. For two-way ANOVA P-values mentioned as: P>0.05 NS; FT4- P> 0.05 NS; TSH- P> 0.05 NS.

FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) of liver tissues in the group of Channa punctatus treated with lithium chloride. CSH, cloudy swelling of hepatocytes; VD, vascular degeneration and N, necrosis. (Upon 30 days exposure of lithium).

Figure 4:

FESEM images of liver tissue in the group of Channa punctatus treated with lithium chloride. CSH, cloudy swelling of hepatocytes; VD, vascular degeneration and N, necrosis. (Upon 60 days exposure of lithium).

Figure 5:

FESEM imaged of liver tissue in the group of Oreochromis niloticus treated with lithium chloride. CSH, cloudy swelling of hepatocytes; VD, vascular degeneration and N, necrosis. (Upon 30 days exposure of lithium).
