Is shown, that the influence of such ions of heavy metals, as a nickel, cobalt, manganese, tin, zinc and the cadmium in the concentration 10-6-10-4 М results in lowering of Na2+, K+-ATPase activity of loach embryo at different stages of blastomer divisions, thus the character of these changes coincides character of changes of transmembrane potential during period of blastomer divisions under the heavy metal influence.


Keywords: transmembrane potential, loach embryo, blastomer division, heavy metal ions.
