In this study, the effects of sub lethal levels of aluminum on metabolic enzymes, Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase (AST, ALT and ALP) in organs including gills, liver and muscles of common carp (<em>Cyprinus carpio</em>) were evaluated after <span style="color:#222222;">24, 48</span></span><span style="color:#222222;">, 72 and 96 h </span></span>exposure under laboratory conditions. <span style="color:#222222;">Tissue extracts were prepared from each group. Enzymes were measured using commercial kits and auto-analyzer Selectra-PRO</span>. According to statistical data analysis, it was found that the activity of this enzyme in tissues increased significantly compared to that in the control group. AST enzymes in the liver and muscle increased significantly but were reduced at 96 h. ALP levels in muscle tissue significantly increased at 72 h but were reduced at 96 h. The alterations in the activities of these enzymes indicated that the presence of <span style="color:#222222;">aluminum </span>interfered with transamination and metabolic process in tissues. As<span style="color:#222222;"> a biomarker in various organs, it can also be useful for toxicology</span></p> Aluminum, Cyprinus carpio, AST, ALT, ALP 742 752 http://jifro.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-600-83&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 M.
