Seasonal Variation of Acetylcholinesterase Activity as a Biomarker in Brain Tissue of Capoeta umbla in Pülümür Stream

This study was carried out between March 2015 and February 2016 with the aim of determining the seasonal variation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain tissue of Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843) caught from Pülümür Stream (Tunceli). The seasonal fluctuations in the AChE activity of C. umbla which caught between the 39̊06' 19''N- 39̊36' 56''E (A) and 39̊11' 36''N-39̊41' 36''E (B) coordinates of Pülümür Stream, were studied over a period of one year. The enzyme activity was higher in spring and summer than in autumn and winter. In addition, the minimum value for the AChE activity was determined in the winter season and the maximum value was determined in the spring.

Pülümür Akarsuyu’ndaki Capoeta umbla’nın Beyin Dokusunda Bir Biyobelirteç Olarak Asetilkolinesteraz Aktivitesinin Mevsimsel Değişimi

Bu çalışma, Pülümür akarsuyundan (Tunceli) alınan Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843)’nın beyin dokusundaki asetilkolinesteraz (AChE) enzim aktivitesinin mevsimsel değişimini belirlemek amacıyla Mart 2015 ile Şubat 2016 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Pülümür Akarsuyu’nun 39̊06' 19''N - 39̊36' 56''E (A) ve 39̊' 11' 36'N - 39̊41' 36''E (B) koordinatları arasında yakalanan C.umbla' nın AChE aktivitesindeki mevsimsel dalgalanmalar bir yıl boyunca incelendi. Enzim aktivitesi, ilkbahar ve yaz aylarında sonbahar ve kışa kıyasla daha yüksekti. Ayrıca, AChE aktivitesine ait minimum değer kışın, maksimum değer ise ilkbaharda tespit edildi.
