## Abstract Mammalian brain metallothioneins (MTs) have been shown to scavenge free radicals. However, a similar role for fish brain MT has not been established yet. Previously, we have reported that MT from the liver of a freshwater fish, __Channa punctata__ Bloch, had free‐radical‐scavenging acti
