| Abstract: | This general review provides data on the accumulation of heavy metals in the body of fish and the histopathological effects. Fish represent an essential bioindicator regarding the degree of environmental pollution. Heavy metals can induce mutagenic and carcinogenic effects in the body, so their study is very important. Regarding intracellular biochemical processes, they can be blocked due to the increased concentration of heavy metals in the body through the bioaccumulation effect. According to the existing data in the specialized literature, the target organs of the accumulation of heavy metals are represented by the kidneys and liver. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals is a growing concern for humanity because it can influence the entire food chain. The continuous accumulation of heavy metals throughout the environment, especially in the aquatic environment, is increasingly accentuated with the passage of time due to population growth, new technological developments and industrialization. Excessive exposure to heavy metals is an essential risk regarding the etiology of several neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
