Effect of Toxaphene on Collagen Synthesis in Fish Tissue: Organ Culture Studies and Prolyl Hydroxylase Activity Assay
Toxaphene is reported to cause defects in the collagen of fish. Chronic exposure to toxhaphene weakens the backbone of fish by decreasing the amount of collagen and usually increasing the amount of calcium in the bone which results in a more brittle and fragile bone. We investigated the possible dir...
