Abstract
The effect of five concentrations of cadmium and chromium (10 mM, 1 mM, 0.1 mM, 0.01 mM and 0.001 mM) on the rate of absorption of glucose from the intestine of the snakehead fish, Channa punctatus, was studied at 23°C. All concentrations of cadmium decreased the rate of glucose transport. Maximum decrease was recorded with 10 mM of cadmium. The rate of transport decreased with an increase in the concentration of cadmium used. Chromium increased glucose absorption rate at all concentrations examined; the highest rate of absorption occurred at 0.001 mM of chromium.
