Abstract
A modified spot screening test for methemoglobin reductase (MHb reductase), indicated that this enzyme occurs in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. The presence of MHb reductase offers at least a partial explanation of the rapid recovery observed when catfish with profound nitrite-induced methemoglobinemia are placed in nitrite-free water.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
