Glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) challenged thermoregulation in lizards (Eremias argus), compensatory warming could mitigate this effect. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 897:165287.

Abstract
Chemical pollution and global warming are two major threats to reptiles, and these two factors can interact with each other. Glyphosate have attracted worldwide attention due to their ubiquitous occurrence, yet their impact on reptiles remains unknown. We designed a crossover experiment with different external GBH exposures (control/GBH) x different environmental temperatures (current climate treatment/warmer climate treatment) over 60 days to simulate environmental exposure in the Mongolian Racerunner lizard (Eremias argus). Preferred body temperature and active body temperature data were collected to calculate the accuracy of thermoregulation, while liver detoxification metabolic enzymes, oxidative stress system function, and the non-targeted metabolome of the brain tissue were assessed. Warmer-treated lizards adjusted their physiological levels and behavioral strategies in response to increased ambient temperatures and maintained body temperature homeostasis at moderate thermal perturbations. GBH-treated lizards suffered from oxidative damage to the brain tissue and abnormal histidine metabolism, thus their thermoregulatory accuracy reduced. Interestingly, at elevated ambient temperatures, GBH treatment did not affect on their thermoregulatory, possibly through several temperature-dependent detoxification mechanisms. Importantly, this data suggested that the subtle toxicological effects of GBH may threaten increasingly thermoregulation behavior of E. argus with species-wide repercussions, as climate change and exposure time extension.

Effects of the herbicide ametryn on development and thyroidogenesis of bullfrog tadpoles (Aquarana catesbeiana) under different temperatures. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 322:121159.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones (TH) are essential for the metamorphosis of amphibians and their production can be influenced by environmental stressors, such as temperature fluctuations, and exposure to aquatic pollutants, such as herbicides. In the present study we evaluated the influence of different temperatures (25 and 32 °C) on the effects of the herbicide ametryn (AMT, 0 - control, 10, 50 and 200 ng.L-1) for 16 days on thyroidogenesis of bullfrog tadpoles. Higher temperature and AMT exposure caused a delay in the development of tadpoles, despite no differences were noted in weight gain and total length of the animals. Levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were not altered neither by AMT nor by temperature, but the highest temperature caused a decrease in total area and number of follicles in the thyroid gland. Transcript levels of thyroid hormone receptors alpha and beta (TRα and TRβ) and iodothyronine deiodinase 3 (DIO3) were lower at 32 °C, which is consistent with developmental delay at the higher temperature. Tadpoles exposed to 200 ng.L-1 of AMT at 25 °C also presented delayed development, which was consistent with lower TRα and DIO3 transcript levels. Lower levels of estradiol were noted in tadpoles exposed to AMT at the higher temperature, being also possibly related to a developmental delay. This study demonstrates that higher temperature and AMT exposure impair thyroidgenesis in bullfrog tadpoles, disrupting metamorphosis.

Abstract
The S-triazine herbicide ametryn (AMT) is relatively low adsorbed in soils and has high solubility in water, thus believed to affect non-target aquatic organisms such as amphibians. Temperature increases can intensify the effects of herbicides, possibly increasing the susceptibility of amphibians to these compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of temperature (25 and 32 °C) on the responses of biochemical biomarkers in bullfrog tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus) exposed to different concentrations of AMT (0, 10, 50 and 200 ng.L-1) for a period of 16 days. The antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the biotransformation enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST) had their activity decreased at the highest temperature (32 °C). SOD activity was reduced at 200 ng.L-1 and 32 °C compared to the control at the same temperature. AMT exposure also decreased the activities of alanine aminotransferase and gamma glutamyl transferase. On the other hand, the activities of acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, alkaline phosphatase, levels of lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl, as well genotoxic markers (micronucleus and nuclear abnormalities frequencies) were unchanged. The evaluation of integrated biomarker response index (IBR) indicated highest variations at the concentration of 200 ng.L-1 at 32 °C, suggesting that the combination of high AMT concentrations and temperatures generate more pronounced negative effects to tadpoles.

Abstract
Temperature variations and thermal extremes events caused by climate change can have profound implications for the toxicity of pesticides in aquatic organisms. Using an innovative system (Heterogeneous Multi-Habitat Test System - HeMHAS) that allows the simulation of different scenarios within a spatially heterogeneous landscape, the effects on the habitat selection of Danio rerio fish caused by the pesticides fipronil and 2,4-D were studied as single compounds and in mixture and integrated with air temperature variation (20, 24 and 28 °C). As a result, D. rerio detected and avoided both pesticides at air temperatures of 20 and 24 °C; however, at 28 °C no significant difference was observed in habitat choice by fish. Additionally, when pesticides were mixed in a heterogeneously contaminated landscape, it was observed that D. rerio detected contamination and preferred the clean zone at 20 and 24 °C; however, at 28 °C the potential to escape from the most contaminated areas was impaired. Thus, contamination by both pesticides made the habitat selection behavior of fish at 20 and 24 °C more noticeable. In addition, the association between pesticides and temperature showed negative effects on the response of fish to detect and escape from contaminated environments, suggesting the influence of temperature in altering the ability of the organism to provide an efficient response to stress.

Abstract
The influence of temperature (25 and 32 °C) on the negative effects of the herbicide tebuthiuron (TBU, 0, 10, 50 and 200 ng.L-1, 16 days) on thyroid function and metamorphosis of Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles was evaluated. Metamorphosis was accelerated by TBU exposure at 25 ºC, but delayed at 32 ºC with considerable losses of body mass. T3 and T4 levels were not altered. The highest TBU concentrarion at 25 ºC increased TR β and DIO3 transcript levels, which is consistent with development acceleration in tadpoles. At 32 ºC TR β transcript levels were lower than the values recorded at 25 ºC, and those tadpoles exposed to the highest TBU concentration presented increased diameter of thyroid follicles compared to controls at same temperature. This study evidences that TBU at environmentally realistic concentrations is able to disrupt thyroidogenesis in bullfrog tadpoles, impairing their development. These effects are influenced by temperature.

Abstract
This study was conducted to enhance the viability and alleviate the oxidative stress response using MO for sea bass during live transport. Six experimental groups were designed, and the effects of the physiological responses of MO were evaluated in comparison with MS-222 and eugenol. The physiological stress levels, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9), antioxidant enzyme activities, and kidney parameters of blood serum were determined. It was found that cortisol level, glucose (Glu), lactic acid (LD), heat shock proteins (HSPs), catalase (CAT), myeloperoxidase (MPO), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), uric acid (UA), and urea nitrogen (BUN) in the MO-treated samples were lower than that of the control (133.72 ng/L); however, the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was higher after 72 h of the simulated live transport. The ability to resist oxidative stress increased along with the increase in the MO concentration in the water during live transport, which was similar to the results of MS-222 and eugenol treatment. In conclusion, MO, acting as a kind of novel sedative and anesthetic, can be used to improve the oxidative system and survival rate during live transport. The results of this study provide a reference for enhancing animal welfare and anti-oxidative stress ability, reducing mortality and the stress response during live fish transport.

Abstract
As the emerging contaminants, the environmental risks of drug-derived pollutants have attracted extensive attention. Citalopram (CTP) and mirtazapine (MTP) are commonly used as modern antidepressant drugs. Previous studies had proved that CTP and MTP entered the aquatic environment, but less reported the negative effects of the drugs on aquatic organisms. Herein, the effects on the feeding rate of Daphnia magna (D. magna) induced by psychotropic drugs CTP and MTP were investigated, which the possible mechanisms were analyzed with the oxidative stress and damage. Generally, the feeding rates of exposed D. magna under all concentrations of CTP and 1.03 mg/L of MTP were significantly decreased after exposure (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). The inhibitory effect of CTP on the feeding rate of D. magna was time- and dose-dependent. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were particularly increased in D. magna after CTP and MTP exposure (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). The level of antioxidant molecules glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the activity of scavenging enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) of D. magna were increased (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). In consequence, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were increased (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), which indicated oxidative damage caused by MTP and CTP, due to the imbalance of antioxidative stress system. These findings indicated that psychoactive drugs posed a high toxic threat to the aquatic organisms, and the aquatic environmental risks caused by using psychoactive drugs deserve more attention.

Abstract
Water temperature rises due to thermal discharge and global warming and the potential resulting impacts on the ecotoxicity of emerging chemicals are a growing concern. Benzophenone-3 (BP-3) is an ultraviolet filter added to personal care and plastic products, which is detected at highest concentrations during the hot summer season. This study aimed to investigate the effect of elevated temperature on acute (48 h) and chronic (21 d) BP-3 toxicity in Daphnia magna. Neonates (<24 h) acclimated at 28 °C showed much lower acute toxicity (EC50 = 3.91 and 2.69 mg L-1 at 20 and 28 °C, respectively) than those acclimated at 20 °C (EC50 = 2.96 and 2.04 mg L-1 at 20 and 28 °C, respectively). The body length, embryonic development, and the number of offspring in D. magna offspring exposed to BP-3 for 21 d were significantly decreased after exposure to 0.8 mg L-1 BP-3 at 20 °C. However, these adverse effects of BP-3 in D. magna were significantly ameliorated at 28 °C. Under these conditions, stress response genes such as Hb (hemoglobin), Hsp70 (heat shock protein), Cyp4 (cytochrome P450), and GST (glutathione-S-transferase) were significantly upregulated. These findings suggest that elevated temperature activated stress responses in D. magna, leading to enhanced protection against BP-3 toxicity. This study will contribute to a better understanding of the ecotoxicological impacts of toxic chemicals on aquatic organisms at elevated temperature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Freshwater fish Pangasius sutchi was used in this study as a vertebrate model. We evaluated the induction of certain antioxidant enzymes in various vital organs. The radioprotective efficacy of Gymnema sylvestre leaves extract (GS) [25 mg/kg Body Weight (B.W)] and its bioactive compound Gymnemagenin (GG) [0.3 mg/kg B.W] was compared with Amifostine (Ami), the only radioprotector clinically approved by the US-FDA [Ami- 83.3 mg/kg B.W] against different doses of gamma radiation - 60Co (Lethal Dose: LD30-9.2 Gy, LD50-10.2 Gy and LD70-11.4 Gy). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was done via stress marker enzymes, cell cycle analysis (CCA) and DNA damage assay prediction with molecular docking, which are reported here for the first time. The results indicate an elevated LPO level and decreased level of CAT, SOD and GSH due to oxidative stress initiation by 60Co Ionizing Radiation (IR) on 4th day and slightly reduced on 32nd day while the reverse observed when the fishes were pretreated with Ami, GS and GG. Similarly, CCA and dead/live cells counts were conducted with pretreatment of Ami, GS and GG against 60Co IR dose (LD50-10.2 Gy). RESULTS In CCA, G0/G1 phase was observed to be the highest in Ami and lowest in GG, against 60Co IR doses 10.2 Gy which was 51.76 ± 7.55. The dead cells range observed in pretreated group of Ami, GS and GG was lowest in Ami and highest in GG and live cells (highest in Ami and lowest in GG) as compared to 60Co IR group (86.43 ± 3.42 and 8.77 ± 5.95). Thus, antioxidant profile improvement by oxidative stress reduction and gradual progression of different phases of cell cycle except the apoptotic phase along with the live cells counts indicates that the radio-protective efficacy of GS is similar to Ami. CONCLUSION Predictive assessment was carried out by docking of Ami, various components of GS with p53, NF-κβ cells and Rad51 proteins structures responsible for CCA, apoptosis and repair mechanism. These structural proteins were docked with other structural proteins like USP7, TNF-α and partner and localizer of BRCA2 associated (PALB2/BRCA2) complex which made us perform these systemic efforts to find the functional activity of these known radio-protectants.

Yang C, Lim W, Song G. Mediation of oxidative stress toxicity induced by pyrethroid pesticides in fish. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2020; 234:108758. [PMID: 32289527 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2020.108758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides are banned in most countries because they cause high toxicity and bioaccumulation in non-target organisms. Pyrethroid pesticides have been applied to agriculture and aquaculture since the 1970s to replace traditional pesticides. However, pyrethroids are approximately 1000 times more toxic to fish than to mammals and birds. Fish-specific organs such as the gills and their late metabolic action against this type of pesticide make fish highly susceptible to the toxicity of pyrethroid pesticides. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the neurological, reproductive, and developmental toxicity caused by pyrethroids. Deltamethrin, cypermethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin are representative pyrethroid pesticides that induce oxidative stress in tissues such as the gills, liver, and muscles of fish and cause histopathological changes. Although they are observed in low concentrations in aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes, and surface water they induce DNA damage and apoptosis in fish. Pyrethroid pesticides cause ROS-mediated oxidative stress in fish species including carp, tilapia, and trout. They also cause lipid peroxidation and alter the state of DNA, proteins, and lipids in the cells of fish. Moreover, changes in antioxidant enzyme activity following pyrethroid pesticide exposure make fish more susceptible to oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants. In this review, we examine the occurrence of pyrethroid pesticides in the aquatic environment and oxidative stress-induced toxicity in fish exposed to pyrethroids.

Abstract
The evaluation of temperature-dependent chemical toxicity (TDCT) is imperative for future risk assessments of pesticides under global climate change scenarios. Few TDCT studies have so far considered the ability of organisms to acclimate to altered temperatures prior to pesticide exposure, although this may change their thermal tolerance range and hence their susceptibility to pesticide stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature acclimation on the sensitivity of the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia silvestrii to Glyphosate. We used the shift in sensitivity of the organisms to Glyphosate when exposed to short term temperature changes as a proxy for the effect of the developmental acclimation on sensitivity. We observed that acclimation to higher temperatures reduces the sensitivity to Glyphosate when organisms are exposed to this pesticide in lower temperatures. Therefore, acclimation to high temperatures offers some protective effect against Glyphosate toxicity. We argue that pesticide risk assessments based on tests conducted at one standard temperature should be considered with care. Realistic risk assessments considering climate change scenarios should assess the mode of which organisms are exposed to temperature, therefore taking into consideration the potential effect of temperature acclimation on the sensitivity of a species to a toxicant.

Abstract
We aimed to ascertain whether ubiquitous plant-based polyphenolic flavonoid compound quercetin (Q) was capable of alleviating deltamethrin (DM) stress in a freshwater teleost, Channa punctata, with emphasis on levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), DNA/RNA contents and hematological parameters. We measured these parameters in various tissues of fish at 7 and 21 days of exposure to DM doses (0.03 and 0.15 μL L-1), Q (0.14 g L-1) and their combinations (0.03 μL DM L-1 + 0.14 g Q L-1 and 0.15 μL DM L-1 + 0.14 g Q L-1). Both the DM doses altered blood parameters, lowered DNA/RNA contents, AchE activities, GSH levels and augmented GST activities as a mark of neurotoxicity and oxidative stress in fish tissues. We found that 0.14 g L-1 Q ameliorated oxidative stress and AchE inhibitory effects, recovered DM-induced nucleic acid damage and alterations in blood parameters, with some tissue specificity and in duration-dependent manner. Thus, the results indicated that Q was capable of neuroprotection and enhancing the function of antioxidants in fish, which could be predicted to be useful for providing better protection to fish under aquaculture settings with improved Q-rich diets. Through this study with multiple biomarkers in several tissues of fish, valuable information for devising better strategies regarding pesticide risk assessment was obtained and it was recognized that an appropriate dose of Q was essential for its better functioning.

Abstract
Deltamethrin is widely used worldwide due to its valuable insecticidal activity against pests and parasites. Increasing evidence has shown that deltamethrin causes varying degrees of toxicity. Moreover, oxidative stress and metabolism are highly correlated with toxicity. For the first time, this review systematically summarizes the deltamethrin toxicity mechanism from the perspective of oxidative stress, including deltamethrin-mediated oxidative damage, antioxidant status, oxidative signaling pathways and modulatory effects of antagonists, synergists and placebos on oxidative stress. Further, deltamethrin metabolism, including metabolites, metabolic enzymes and pathways and deltamethrin metabolite toxicity are discussed. This review will shed new light on deltamethrin toxicity mechanisms and provide effective strategies to ensure pest control and prevention of human and animal poisoning.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate neurophysiological responses in rainbow trout brain tissue exposed to natural/botanical pesticides. Fish were exposed to botanical and synthetic pesticides over a 21-day period. At the end of the treatment period, oxidative DNA damage (indicated by 8-OHdG (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine), AChE activity (acetylcholinesterase) and transcriptional parameters (gpx (glutathione peroxidase), sod (superoxide dismutase), cat (catalase), HSP70 (heat shock protein 70) and CYP1A (cytochromes P450)) was investigated in control and application groups. Our results indicated that brain AChE activities decreased very significantly in fish treated with both insecticide types when compared with control (p < 0.05). 8-OHdG activity increased in a dose/time-dependent situation in the brain tissues of Oncorhynchus mykiss (p < 0.05). In addition, with regards to gene expression, gpx sod and, cat expressions were down-regulated, whereas CYP1A and HSP70 gene expression were up-regulated in fish treated with both insecticides when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The data for this study suggests that bio-pesticides can cause neurophysiological changes in fish brain tissue.

Abstract
The λ-cyhalothrin (CL) is a globally used pyrethroid insecticide that has been detected in different water bodies worldwide. However, studies on the effects of CL on freshwater fishes are still incipient. In this context, we evaluated the acute effects of a commercial formulation containing CL (Karate Zeon® CS 50) in juveniles of the teleost Prochilodus lineatus exposed for 96 h to four concentrations of the active ingredient (5, 50, 250 and 500 ng.L-1). Biochemical, physiological, and genotoxic biomarkers were evaluated in different organs of the fish. Exposure to CL induced significant changes in the enzymatic profiles of P. lineatus, with specific alterations in biotransformation enzymes and antioxidant defence in different tissues. Lipid peroxidation was observed in fish gills and kidney. Increases in esterases were observed in the liver of fish exposed to all CL concentrations evaluated, whereas acetylcholinesterase activity decreased in the muscles of fish at all concentrations. CL also promoted osmoregulatory disorders, with decreases in calcium and magnesium gill ATPases, with consequent hypocalcaemia, in addition an increase in sodium-potassium ATPase activity was observed in the gills of fish exposed to the highest CL concentration, probably in order to compensate a reduction in plasma sodium. Besides, increases in DNA damage were observed in the erythrocytes of fish exposed to all CL concentrations. Thus, despite the low CL concentrations and the short exposure time, this pyrethroid caused hematological adjustments, oxidative stress, osmoregulatory disorders, and DNA damage in P. lineatus, showing that the species is highly sensitive to the deleterious effects of CL.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effects of exposure to manganese (Mn2+) for 96 hours at two different temperatures (24 and 27°C) on juveniles of Centropomus parallelus through the activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT), micronuclei test (MN) and comet assay. The GST activity did not show any significant difference between the groups exposed to Mn2+ and the respective control groups; in contrast, a major increase in the CAT activity was observed at 27°C in the group exposed to Mn2+ compared to the control group. The genotoxic analyses showed that in all animals exposed to Mn2+, the number of red cells with micronuclei increased significantly compared to the respective control groups. There was also a significant increase in the incidence of DNA damage in the groups exposed to Mn2+. At a temperature of 24ºC, animals exposed to Mn2+ had more DNA damage than those at 27°C. It is likely that the increase in temperature can also induce oxidative stress. Thus, we conclude that manganese is toxic to the fat snook juveniles, causing genotoxic damage, and when associated with an increase in temperature, manganese can also provoke an increase in oxidative stress.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determinate toxicity mechanism of biopesticide with antioxidant enzymes parameters such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)), transcriptional changes of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and cytochromes P4501A (CYP1A), sod, cat, and gpx in liver and gill tissues of Oncorhynchus mykiss. For this aim, plant-based (natural pesticides, azadirachtin (AZA)) and synthetic pesticides (deltamethrin (DLM)) were exposed on the fish at different concentrations (0.0005 and 0.00025ppm of DLM; 0.24 and 0.12ppm of AZA) for 21 days. According to the results of the study, the activity of SOD, CAT and GPx decreased, but malondialdehyde (MDA) level and activity of 8-OHdG increased in the gill and liver of rainbow trout (p<0.05). Additionally sod, cat and gpx were down regulated; HSP70 and CYP1A were up regulated for transcriptional observation. The downwards regulation of antioxidant (sod, cat and gpx) and the upregulation of HSP70 and CYP1A was obvious with doses of AZA or DLM (p<0.05). The findings of this study suggest that biopesticide can cause biochemical and physiological effects in the fish gill and liver by causing enzyme inhibition, an increase in 8-OHdG levels and changes in both transcriptional parameters (sod, cat, gpx, HSP70 and CYP1A). We found that excessive doses of plant-based pesticide are nearly as toxic as chemical ones for aquatic organisms. Moreover, 8-OHdG, HSP70 and CYP1A used as a biomarker to determinate toxicity mechanism of biopesticide in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Temperature is an important factor influencing the toxicity of chemicals in aquatic environments. Neotropical tadpoles experience large temperature fluctuations in their habitats and many species are distributed in areas impacted by agriculture. This study evaluated the effects caused by the exposure to clomazone (Gamit®) at different temperatures (28, 32 and 36 °C) on biochemical stress responses and esterase activities in Physalaemus nattereri and Rhinella schneideri tadpoles. Results evidenced that temperature modulates the effects of clomazone on biochemical response of tadpoles. Antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase had their activities increased by clomazone in P. nattereri treated at higher temperatures. The biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was also induced by clomazone at 32 and 36 °C. In R. schneideri, clomazone failed to alter antioxidant enzymes at 28 °C, but SOD and GST were increased by clomazone at higher temperatures after three days. All enzymes had their activities returned to the control levels after eight days in R. schneideri. Lipid peroxidation was induced in both species exposed to clomazone at 32 and 36 °C, but not at 28 °C. Acetylcholinesterase was not sensitive to clomazone and temperature, while most treatments impaired carboxylesterase activity. Integrated biomarker response (IBR) was notably induced by temperature in both species, and a synergic effect of temperature and clomazone was mostly observed after three days of exposure. These findings imply that tadpoles from tropical areas may present differential responses in their physiological mechanism linked to antioxidant defense to deal with temperature fluctuations and agrochemicals presence in their habitats.

Abstract
Amphibians can experience large temperature fluctuations in their habitats, especially during the larval stage, when tadpoles are restricted to small and ephemeral ponds. Changes in water temperature can alter development, metabolism and behaviour of cold-blooded animals but also the toxicokinetics of chemicals in the environment. In Brazil, pesticides application is intensified during the rainy season, which is the period of reproduction for many amphibian species. We evaluated here the influence of temperature (28, 32, and 36°C) on the toxicity of the herbicide sulfentrazone (Boral®SC) in tadpoles of Physalaemus nattereri and Rhinella schneideri, by analysis of oxidative stress biomarkers. Exposure of tadpoles to sulfentrazone altered the antioxidant enzymes activities and induced lipid peroxidation with temperature-associated responses. Catalase, superoxide dismutase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) were impaired by combined effect of temperature and sulfentrazone in both species. G6PDH was increased in most groups exposed to 36°C. Biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase had more evident alterations in P. nattereri at higher temperatures and changes in tGSH contents presented different patterns between the species. Lipid peroxidation was particularly induced in tadpoles of P. nattereri. Integrated biomarker response (IBR) index indicated a synergic effect of temperature and sulfentrazone for tadpoles of P. nattereri, while the IBR was mainly influenced by temperature in R. schneideri. Our study showed that temperature modulates biochemical responses in tadpoles exposed to sulfentrazone with a species-specific pattern. These findings imply that the effects of abiotic factors should be taken into account to evaluate the real risks of exposure of amphibians to commonly used pesticides.

Uranium ( 238U)-induced ROS and cell cycle perturbations, antioxidant responses and erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities in the freshwater iridescent shark fish Pangasius sutchi. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2017; 186:145-158. [PMID: 28282621 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2017.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2016] [Revised: 02/28/2017] [Accepted: 03/01/2017] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The strategic plan of this study is to analyze any possible radiological impact on aquatic organisms from forthcoming uranium mining facilities around the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam in the future. The predominantly consumed and dominant fish species Pangasius sutchi, which is available year-round at Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, was selected for the study. To comprehend the outcome and to understand the mode of action of 238U, the fish species Pangasius sutchi was exposed to ¼ and ½ of the LC50 doses of waterborne 238U in a static system in duplicate for 21 days. Blood and organs, including the gills, liver, brain and muscles, were collected at different time periods-0h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 7, days 14days and 21 days-using ICP-MS to determine the toxic effects of uranium and the accumulation of 238U concentrations. The bioaccumulation of 238U in P. sutchi tissues was dependent on exposure time and concentration. The accumulation of uranium was, in order of magnitude, measured as gills>liver>brain>tissue, with the highest accumulation in the gills. It was observed that exposure to 238U significantly reduced antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lipid peroxidase. The analysis of DNA fragmentation by comet assay and cell viability by flow cytometry was performed at different time intervals. DNA histograms by flow cytometry analysis revealed an increase in the G2/M phase and the S phase. The long-term 238U exposure studies in fish showed increasing micronucleus frequencies in erythrocytes with greater exposure time. The higher the concentration of 238U is, the greater is the effect observed, suggesting a close relationship between accumulation and toxicity. A possible ROS-mediated 238U toxicity mechanism and antioxidant responses have been proposed.

Abstract
Allicin, the main biologically active component of garlic clove extracts, has been evaluated for its' efficacy in preventing deltamethrin-induced oxidative damage in Nile tilapia; Oreochromis niloticus. Fish were fed on 2 different doses of 0.5 g and 1 g of allicin/kg diet for 28 days. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), cholesterol, urea, uric acid, creatinine, total protein, albumin and globulin were estimated. Moreover, the level of malonaldehyde (MDA) was analyzed as a lipid peroxidation marker. In addition, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were analyzed as antioxidant biomarkers in liver, kidney and gills. Results show that deltamethrin subacute intoxication (1.46 µg/L for 28 days) increased serum AST, ALT, ALP, cholesterol, urea, uric acid, creatinine and tissue MDA. At the same time, serum total protein and albumin as well as tissue level of GSH, GSH-Px, SOD and CAT were reduced. Allicin supplemented diets enhanced all the altered serum biochemical parameters as well as tissues' lipid peroxidation and antioxidant biomarkers in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggest that feeding allicin can ameliorate deltamethrin-induced oxidative stress and might have some therapeutic properties to protect Nile tilapia on subacute deltamethrin toxicity.

Abstract
The research aims to explore the impact of cold acclimation and storage temperature on crucian carp in a waterless preservation. It is conducted by studying the influence of cold acclimation on crucian carp in temperatures of 5 and 1 °C h(-1), followed by having them preserved under waterless conditions at 4 and 0 °C for 24 h to analyze their aerobic and anaerobic capacities. The research findings revealed that the temperature drop at 1 °C h(-1) is conducive to preserving the activity of lactate dehydrogenase. The activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase was maintained, and the brain succinate dehydrogenase remained unchanged. With regards to alanine transaminase, its activity, being sensitive to the changes of storage temperatures, was maintained when the temperature was decreased to 0 °C and malondialdehyde was accumulated at the same temperature. Stored in cold environment, blood catalase was accumulated; however, obvious changes were not found in the liver. It is likely that cold acclimation contributes to retaining aerobic and anaerobic metabolism under waterless preservation as well as decreasing the damage of blood oxidation.

Abstract
Recently, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fish farmers have applied a combination of deltamethrin and azamethiphos in high-concentration and short-duration immersion treatment to improve protection against sea-lice (Lepeophtheirus sp.). In this work we aimed to study the effects of deltamethrin, alone or in combination with azamethiphos, on the transcription of stress and detoxification marker genes. Atlantic salmon kept at 12°C (one group was also kept at 4-5°C) were treated with deltamethrin alone or in combination with azamethiphos for a total of 40min, and gill and liver tissue harvested for transcriptional analysis 2 and 24h post treatment. No lethality was observed during the experiment. The result showed that deltamethrin, alone or in combination with azamethiphos, affected the transcriptional levels of several oxidative stress markers, including MnSOD (SOD2) and HSP70 (HSPA8) in the liver, and GPX1, CAT, MnSOD, HSP70 and GSTP1 in the gills. Significant responses for CASP3B, BCLX, IGFBP1B and ATP1A1 (Na-K-ATPase a1b) by some of the treatments suggest that the pharmaceutical drugs may affect apoptosis, growth and ion regulation mechanisms. In fish kept at 4-5°C, different effects were observed, suggesting a temperature-dependent response. In conclusion, the observed responses indicate that short-term exposure to deltamethrin has a profound effect on transcription of the evaluated markers in gills and liver of fish. Co-treatment with azamethiphos appears to have small mitigating effects on the transcriptional response caused by deltamethrin exposure alone.

Abstract
Global warming and pesticide pollution are major threats for aquatic biodiversity. Yet, how pesticide effects are influenced by the increased frequency of extreme temperatures under global warming and how local thermal adaptation may mitigate these effects is unknown. We therefore investigated the combined impact of larval chlorpyrifos exposure, larval food stress and adult heat exposure on a set of fitness-related traits in replicated low- and high-latitude populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans. Larval pesticide exposure resulted in lighter adults with a higher water content, lower fat content, higher Hsp70 levels and a lower immune function (PO activity). Heat exposure reduced water content, mass, fat content and flying ability. Importantly, both stressors interacted across metamorphosis: adult heat exposure lowered the reduction of fat content, and generated a stronger decrease in PO activity in pesticide-exposed animals. Larval pesticide exposure and larval food stress also reduced the defense response to the adult heat stress in terms of increased Hsp70 levels. In line with strong life history differences in the unstressed control situation, high-latitude animals were less sensitive to food stress (body mass and water content), but more sensitive to pesticide stress (development time and PO activity) and heat exposure (PO activity and Hsp70 levels). While low-latitude adults could better withstand the extreme temperature as suggested by the weaker increase in Hsp70, heat exposure similarly affected the delayed effects of larval pesticide exposure at both latitudes. Our study highlighted two key findings relevant for ecological risk assessment under global warming. Firstly, the delayed effects of larval pesticide exposure on adult damselflies depended upon subsequent adult heat exposure, indicating that larval pesticide stress and adult heat stress interacted across metamorphosis. Secondly, low- and high-latitude animals responded differently to the imposed stressors, highlighting that intraspecific evolution along natural thermal gradients may shape sensitivity to pesticides.

Abstract
Temperature and pesticide are two important factors that affect survival, reproduction and other physiological processes of insects. To determine interactions of elevated temperature and avermectins treatment on the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, newly emerged adults were exposed to combinations of three temperatures (21, 26 and 33 °C) and two avermectins concentrations (0, 45 ppm), and survival rate, reproduction, longevity, antioxidant enzymes activities and heat shock proteins (hsps) induction were analyzed. The results showed that the survival, longevity and reproduction of F. occidentalis decreased with increased temperature and avermectins treatment. While elevated temperature and avermectins treatment significantly decreased activity of SOD, activities of POD and GST significantly increased after exposure to elevated temperature, avermectins or their combination. Elevated temperature had no effect on activity of CAT, but it was obviously improved by the combination of temperature and avermectins treatment. Expression analysis of hsps showed that four heat shock proteins (hsp90, hsc702, hsp60 and hop) were up-regulated by the induction of elevated temperature with small fold changes. After treatment with avermectins, expression levels of hsp90, hsc701, hsc702 and hop were significantly up-regulated with increased temperature and higher than those of their respective control at higher temperature. Surprisingly, expression level of hps60 was down-regulated with increased temperature, but the expression level at 21 or 26 °C remained higher than that of control. Overall, our studies suggest that elevated temperature enhance toxicity of avermectins and their combination induced acute oxidative damage to F. occidentalis. Therefore, consideration of temperature in evaluating avermectins toxicity is necessary to make accurate prediction of its effect on F. occidentalis and other insects.

Abstract
Deltamethrin, a sintetic pyrethroid, is the insecticide that has been replacing recently to others like organochlorines, organophosphates and carbamates which are less toxic for birds and mammals, although, unfortunately, all of them are highly toxic to various non-targeted aquatic organisms including fish. In the present study, the consequences of the exposition of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) specimens to sublethal bath dose of deltamethrin (0.1 ppb) on organo-somatic indexes, immunity, seric metabolic parameters, oxidative stress and liver histology were determined after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of exposure. Deltamethrin alters gilthead seabream immune status, the hepato-somatic index and various seric metabolic parameters since the first exposure day while important progressive deleterious morphological changes in liver were also observed. However, no statistically significant deviation was detected in the expression of oxidative stress-related genes whilst the expression of cytochrome P450 gene was up-regulated in head-kidney and liver of exposed fish. Overall, the present results indicate severe immunotoxicological and metabolic effects of deltamethrin in gilthead seabream, the species with the highest rate of production in Mediterranean aquaculture. In general, the values obtained for the tested parameters during the trial seem to indicate that specimens try to adapt to this adverse situation although the continuous presence of the toxic impede the hypothetic recovery of homoeostasis. The use of deltamethrin in the proximities of seabream farms should be carefully considered.
