This study reveals that acidic stress reduces antioxidant activity in Oreochromis niloticus, while vitamins C and E mitigate oxidative stress effectively.
Key Points
Acidic environments significantly decrease antioxidant activity in Oreochromis niloticus.
Antioxidant metrics, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, were notably affected by acid exposure.
Observational analysis of antioxidant activity across varying pH levels over a 21-day exposure period.
Results highlight that vitamins C and E may effectively counteract oxidative stress caused by sulphuric acid.
