Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant status of patin raised in river water of different pollution levels. METHODS: Patin were purchased directly at patin's farm in Terengganu and Pahang. The water pH at each patin's farm was directly measured at the site. The fish's flesh and liver were sampled for the analysis of the antioxidant status. The total antioxidant assay was done to measure the antioxidant level of patin. Additionally, the TSARS assay was also conducted to measure the MDA level as marker of oxidative stress. The data were analyzed using the independent t-test and 95% confidence interval (p<0.05) was taken as significant value. RESULTS: The results showed that the patin's farm in Terengganu river had significantly lower pH as compared to the patin's farm in Pahang river. Additionally, the MDA concentration for both the muscle and liver of patin from Terengganu River were found to be significantly higher than the patin from Pahang river (p<0.05). In contrast, there is no statistically significant difference in total antioxidant content between patin from both rivers. CONCLUSION: In summary, the findings suggested that patin's farm in Terengganu was more polluted as compared to the patin's farm in Pa hang as indicated by the pH level. This could lead to higher oxidative stress level in patin. Further study needed to be done in order to assess how these factors might affect patin's nutrient quality.
