Protein and lipid content in cerebral ganglia of Bellamya bengalensis after HgCl2 intoxication. (b)–(e) Mercury bromophenol blue stained reduced proteins in cerebral ganglia; (g)–(j) Sudan black B stained depleted lipids content in cerebral ganglia; (a), (f) control group 400x; (b), (g) 24 hr 400x; (c), (h) 48 hr 400x; (d), (i) 72 hr 400x; (e), (j) 96 hr 400x. Bold arrow indicates presence of protein and lipid; hollow arrow indicates decreased protein and lipid.
