Table II.

Effect of subchronic exposure to SS-ZnNPs (40–60 nm) and LS- ZnNPs (80–100 nm) on glucose (GLU), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in O. niloticus on days 0, 7 and 14. For given times, concentrations with different lowercase letters are significantly different (p<0.05); one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey or Kruskal Wallis post-hoc test
