Abstract

River water containing a set of pollutants causes substantial changes in the amylolytic activity of human saliva and affects the kinetics of fat hydrolysis under the action of pancreatic lipase. In fish living in polluted water, specific features of the distribution of ascorbic acid over the tissues of organs were detected; a decrease in the amount of cavity fat and lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in it were also observed. The monoamine exchange in the liver of fish is impeded under the effect of the soluble fraction of oil. The applicability of the used biochemical methods for evaluating the quality of natural water was demonstrated.
