[PMID: 38527399 PMCID: PMC10979124 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is well known as a major component of munitions. In addition to its potential carcinogenicity and mutagenicity in humans, recent reports have highlighted TNT toxicities in diverse organisms due to its occurrence in the environment. These toxic effects have been linked to the intracellular metabolism of TNT, which is generally characterised by redox cycling and the generation of noxious reactive molecules. The reactive intermediates formed, such as nitroso and hydroxylamine compounds, also interact with oxygen molecules and cellular components to cause macromolecular damage and oxidative stress. The current review aims to highlight the crucial role of TNT metabolism in mediating TNT toxicity, via increased generation of reactive oxygen species. Cellular proliferation of reactive species results in depletion of cellular antioxidant enzymes, DNA and protein adduct formation, and oxidative stress. While TNT toxicity is well known, its ability to induce oxidative stress, resulting from its reductive activation, suggests that some of its toxic effects may be caused by its reactive metabolites. Hence, further research on TNT metabolism is imperative to elucidate TNT-induced toxicities.

Fenpropathrin disrupted the gills of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) through oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and transcriptional alterations. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 271:116007. [PMID: 38280339 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
Fenpropathrin (FEN) is an extensively utilized synthetic pyrethroid insecticide frequently found in aquatic ecosystems. However, the adverse effects and potential mechanisms of FEN on aquatic species are poorly understood. In this work, common carp were treated with FEN at concentrations of 0.45 and 1.35 μg/L FEN for 14 days, after which the tissue structure, physiological alterations, and mRNA transcriptome of the gills were evaluated. Specifically, FEN exposure caused pathological damage to the gills of carp, downregulated the levels of claudin-1, occludin, and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1), and inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the gills. In addition, FEN exposure promoted an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and significantly upregulated the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and protein carbonyl (PC) in the gills. Moreover, the inflammation-related indices (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IFN-γ) and the apoptosis-related parameter caspase-3 were generally increased, especially in the 1.35 μg/L FEN group, and these indices were significantly greater than those in the control group. These findings suggest that FEN exposure can cause oxidative stress, the inflammatory response, and apoptosis in carp gills. Importantly, the results of RNA-seq analysis showed that 0.45 and 1.35 μg/L FEN could significantly interfere with multiple immune and metabolic pathways, including the phagosome, NOD-like receptor (NLR) signalling pathway, Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling pathway, necroptosis, and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways, indicating that the effects of FEN on the gills of fish are intricate. In summary, our findings confirm the toxic effects of FEN on common carp gills and provide additional comprehensive information for evaluating the toxicity and underlying molecular mechanisms of FEN in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to carry out a general diagnosis of the contamination of the coastal marine environment of the Santa Catarina state (SC, Brazil) by different classes of environmental pollutants, as well as to evaluate possible adverse effects of the contaminants on biochemical biomarkers of oysters, Crassostrea gasar and Crassostrea rhizophorae. 107 chemicals were evaluated in water, sediment and oyster samples from nine sites along the coastline of SC. We also examined various biochemical biomarkers in the oysters' gills and digestive glands to assess potential effects of contaminants. In general, the northern and central regions of the littoral of SC presented higher occurrences and magnitudes of contaminants than the southern region, which is probably related to higher urbanization of center and northern areas of the littoral. The biomarker analysis in the oysters reflected these contamination patterns, with more significant alterations observed in regions with higher levels of pollutants. Our results may serve as a first baseline for future and more extensive monitoring actions and follow-up of the degree of contamination in the state, allowing for inspection actions and management of areas most affected by marine pollutants.

New strategies for evaluating imidacloprid-induced biological consequences targeted to Eisenia fetida species and the corresponding mechanisms of its toxicity. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 349:119456. [PMID: 37897899 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Imidacloprid (IMI), a neonicotinoid insecticide, has a wide variety of applications in both agriculture and horticulture. As a result of it massive and repeated use, its traces remained in soil pose severe damage to soil invertebrates, particularly earthworms. Limited information is available regarding the underlying mechanisms of IMI toxicity toward earthworms at the molecular, transcriptional, and cellular levels. Here, Eisenia fetida coelomocytes and key defensive proteins were selected as targeted receptors to explore the toxic mechanisms of oxidative stress-mediated cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and antioxidant responses induced by IMI stress and the molecular mechanisms underlying the binding of IMI and superoxide dismutase (SOD)/catalase (CAT). Results showed that IMI exposure destroyed the cell membrane integrity of earthworm cells, causing cell damage and cytotoxicity. The intracellular levels of ROS, including ·O2- and H2O2 were induced by IMI exposure, thereby triggering oxidative stress and damage. Moreover, IMI exposure attenuated the antioxidative stress responses (reduced antioxidant capacity and CAT/SOD activities) and caused deleterious effects (enhanced DNA damage, lipid peroxidation (LPO), and protein carbonylation (PCO)) through ROS-mediated oxidative stress pathway. Aberrant gene expression associated with oxidative stress and defense regulation, including CAT, CRT, MT, SOD, GST, and Hsp70 were induced after IMI exposure. Concentration-dependent conformational and structural alterations of CAT/SOD were observed when IMI binding. Also, direct binding of IMI resulted in significant inhibition of CAT/SOD activities in vitro. Molecular simulation showed that IMI preferred to bind to CAT active center through its direct binding with the key residue Tyr 357, while IMI bound more easily to the connecting cavity of two subunits away from SOD active center. In addition, hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic force are the main driving force of IMI binding with CAT/SOD. These findings have implications for comprehensive evaluation of IMI toxicity to soil eco-safety and offer novel strategies to elucidate the toxic mechanisms and pathways of IMI stress.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:123729-123750. [PMID: 37991621 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-30996-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Aquatic animals are prone to extinction due to metal pollution and global climate change. Even though the fish and their products are also unsafe for human consumption, their exports have been rejected due to inorganic and organic contaminants. Nickel (Ni) is a metal that induces toxicity and accumulates in the aquatic ecosystem, posing health threats to humans, animals, and fish. In light of the above, our present investigation aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (96 h-LC50) of nickel alone and concurrent with high temperature (34 °C) (Ni + T) using static non-renewable bioassay toxicity test in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The groups treated under exposure to Ni reared under control condition (25-28.9 °C) and Ni + T exposure group reread under 34 °C. In this study, chose the definitive dose of Ni and Ni + T as 17, 18, 19, and 20 mg L-1 after the range finding test. The median lethal concentration of Ni and Ni + T was determined as 19.38 and 18.75 mg L-1, respectively at 96 h. Oxidative stress viz. catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver, gill, and kidney were noticeably elevated with Ni and Ni + T during 96 h. Whereas, the CAT, GPx, and SOD gene expressions were significantly upregulated with Ni and Ni + T. Trilox equivalent anti-oxidant capacity (TEAC), cupric reducing anti-oxidant capacity (CUPRIC), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), ethoxy resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) were reduced due to exposure to Ni and Ni + T. Cellular metabolic stress and lipid peroxidation were highly affected due to Ni and Ni + T exposure. The immunological status, as indicated by total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio, and nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT), was severely affected by the toxicity of Ni and Ni + T. Moreover, the gene expression of interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), toll-like receptor (TLR), and total immunoglobulin (Ig) was remarkably downregulated following exposure to Ni and Ni + T. HSP 70, iNOS expression, ATPase, Na + /K + -ATPase, cortisol, and blood glucose was significantly elevated with Ni and Ni + T in P. hypophthalmus. The bioaccumulation of Ni in fish tissues and experimental water was determined. The kidney and liver tissues were highly accumulated with Ni, whereas DNA damage was reported in gill tissue. Interestingly, depuration study revealed that at the 28th day, the Ni bioaccumulation was below the maximum residue limit (MRL) level. Therefore, the present study revealed that Ni and Ni + T led to dysfunctional gene and metabolic regulation affecting physiology and genotoxicity. The bioaccumulation and depuration results also indicate higher residual occurrence of Ni in water and aquatic organisms for longer periods.

Abstract
Fenpropathrin (FEN) is a synthetic pyrethroid that has been frequently detected in aquatic environments, yet the neurotoxic impacts and underlying mechanisms on nontarget organisms are lacking. In this experiment, common carp were exposed to 0.45 and 1.35 μg/L FEN for 14 d and exhibited abnormal locomotor behaviour. Biochemical and molecular analysis results indicated that FEN altered the contents of tight junction proteins (claudin-1, occludin, and ZO-1), disturbed Na+-K+-ATPase and AChE activities, caused abnormal expression of neurotransmitters (ACh, DA, GABA, 5-HT, and glutamate) and caused histological damage in the brain, suggesting that FEN may damage the blood-brain barrier and induce neurotoxicity in carp. Furthermore, FEN also promoted an increase in ROS, changed SOD and CAT activities, and generally upregulated the contents of MDA, 8-OHdG, and protein carbonyl in the brain, indicating that FEN can induce oxidative stress and cause damage to lipids, DNA, and proteins. Moreover, inflammation-related indicators (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10), mitophagy-related genes (PINK1, parkin, ulk1, beclin1, LC3, p62, tfeb, and atg5), and apoptosis-related parameters (p53, bax, bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9) were also significantly changed, suggesting that inflammation, mitophagy, and apoptosis may participate in FEN-induced neurotoxicity in carp. This study refines the understanding of the toxicity mechanism of FEN and thus provides data support for the risk assessment of FEN.

Abstract
This investigation looks at the impact of oral bovine serum albumin (BSA) on antioxidants, immune responses, and inflammation signals in blunt snout bream fed a high-calorie diet. 480 fish (average weight: 45.84 ± 0.07 g) were randomly fed a control diet, a high-fat diet (HFD), a high carbohydrate diet (HCD), and a high-energy diet (HED) in six replicates for 12 weeks. After the feeding trial, fish were orally administered with 10% BSA for 10 h, then blood and liver samples from five fish were randomly obtained after 10 h to determine plasma inflammatory markers and inorganic components. Also, the leftover fish were injected with thioacetamide, blood and liver samples were simultaneously obtained at 12, 48, and 96 h, respectively, to determine antioxidant, immune, and inflammatory signals, with survival rates recorded at the same time interval. After 10 h, plasma inflammatory markers such as tumour necrosis factors (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL6), nitric oxide (NO), Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), and cortisol were significantly improved in fish fed HCD and HED as compared to the control. After thioacetamide stress, plasma lysozyme (LYM), complement 3, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and alkaline phosphatase activities, as well as immunoglobulin M, levels all increased significantly (P < 0.05) with increasing time with maximum value attained at 96 h, but shows no difference among dietary treatment. Similar results were observed in liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, but tended to reduce at 96 h. nf-kb, tnf-α, and mcp-1 tend to decrease with the minimum value attained at 48 h and gradually decrease with increasing time at 96 h. After 96 h of the thioacetamide (TAA) challenge, the survival rate of blunt snout bream fed with an HFD and HCD was significantly lower (P < 0.05) at 48, and 96 h before the administration of BSA. However, no differences were observed among dietary treatments after the BSA administration. Overall, this study indicated that oral dietary administration of BSA might greatly enhance the antioxidant capability and innate immunity and mitigates inflammation signals after TAA stress in blunt snout bream fed high energy diet.

[PMID: 37532112 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2023.109710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Extensive agricultural activities to feed the growing population are one major driving force behind aquatic pollution. Different types of pesticides are used in farmlands to increase crop production and wash up into water bodies. Glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup® is one of the most used pesticides in the United States; however, its effects on teleost species are still poorly understood. This study focused on the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of Roundup exposure (low- and high-dose: 0.5 and 5 μg/L for 2-week) on Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA, a biomarker for sodium‑potassium ion pump efficacy), cytochrome P450-1A (CYP1A, a monooxygenase enzyme), 2,4-dinitrophenyl protein (DNP, a biomarker for protein oxidation), 3-nitrotyrosine protein (NTP, a biomarker for protein nitration), superoxidase dismutase (SOD, an antioxidant enzyme), catalase (CAT, an antioxidant enzyme) expressions, and cellular apoptosis in the gills of goldfish. Histopathological and in situ TUNEL analyses showed widespread tissue damage, including lamellar fusion, loss of gill architecture, club shape of primary lamellae, mucous formation, and distortion in the epithelium layer, as well as apoptotic nuclei in gills. Immunohistochemical and qRT-PCR analyses provided insights into the expressions of molecular indicators in gills. Fish exposed to Roundup exhibited a significant (P < 0.05) downregulation of NKA expression in gills. Additionally, we observed upregulation of CYP1A, DNP, NTP, SOD, and CAT expressions in the gills of goldfish. Overall, our results suggest that exposure to Roundup causes disruption of gill architecture, induces protein oxidation/nitration and cellular apoptosis, and alters prooxidant-antioxidant homeostasis in tissues, which may lead to reduced fitness and survivability of teleost species.

Avoidance behaviour and toxicological impact of sunscreens in the teleost Chelon auratus. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2023; 194:115245.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that sunscreen, more specifically the organic ultra-violet filters (O-UVFs), are toxic for aquatic organisms. In the present study, we simulated an environmental sunscreen exposure on the teleost fish, Chelon auratus. The first objective was to assess their spatial avoidance of environmental concentrations of sunscreen products (i.e. a few μg.L-1 of O-UVFs). Our results showed that the fish did not avoid the contaminated area. Therefore, the second objective was to evaluate the toxicological impacts of such pollutants after 35 days exposure to concentrations of a few μg.L-1 of O-UVFs. At the individual level, O-UVFs increased the hepatosomatic index which could suggest pathological alterations of the liver or the initiation of the detoxification processes. At the cellular level, a significant increase of malondialdehyde was measured in the muscle of fish exposed to O-UVFs which suggests a failure of antioxidant defences and/or an excess of reactive oxygen species.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1565. [PMID: 37627560 PMCID: PMC10451200 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
An M. salmoides fish meal diet was supplemented with 0 (CHL0, Control), 38 (CHL38), 76 (CHL76), 114 (CHL114), and 152 (CHL152) mg/kg C. vulgaris for 60 days, and their serum and intestinal samples were analyzed. The results showed that the albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) contents were observably enhanced in the CHL76 group compared with the Control group. The intestinal glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) contents were enhanced significantly in the CHL76 group, while the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was enhanced in the CHL38 group, compared with the Control group. However, supplementation of >76 g/kg C. vulgaris significantly inhibited the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the intestines of M. salmoides. Moreover, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was observably dropped in the CHL-supplemented groups compared with the Control group. Transcriptome analysis of the CHL76 and Control groups displayed a total of 1384 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG analysis revealed that these DEGs were enriched in apoptosis, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, tight junction (TJ), and phagosome signaling pathways, which were associated with improved intestinal immunity in the CHL76 group. Additionally, the DEGs enriched in the above pathways were also correlated with the antioxidant parameters, such as catalase (CAT), GSH, GSH-Px, SOD, T-AOC, and MDA. Therefore, our study found that dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris effectively enhanced the intestinal antioxidant capacity of M. salmoides by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and decreasing MDA content. Additionally, dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris improved the intestinal immune status of M. salmoides by reducing proapoptotic and proinflammatory factors, increasing intestinal TJs- and phagosome-related genes expressions, and increasing the serum ALB and TP contents. Lastly, quadratic regression analysis of the serum biochemical indices (ALB and TP) and intestinal antioxidant parameters (GSH-Px and GSH) revealed that the optimal supplemental level of C. vulgaris in the M. salmoides diet was 58.25-77.7 g/kg.

Abstract
High stocking density is a stress factor that potentially affects physiological and immune responses. In this study, the effects of medlar (Mespilus germanica) extract (ME) supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant, immune status, and stress responses in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were studied. Six hundred fish (40.19 ± 1.09 g; average fish weight ± standard error) were distributed randomly into five experimental groups (assayed in triplicates). The experimental diets were formulated as follows: 0 (T1, control), 0.5% (T2), 1% (T3), 1.5% (T4), and 2% (T4). After 60 days feeding trial, the fish were confined, and the density increased (60 kg/m3) for further 14 days. Results showed significant increases in final weight (FW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate, and feed intake in the T4 compared to the control (P < 0.05). The feed conversion ratio (FCR) in T4 significantly decreased compared to the control (P < 0.05). Also, the treated groups showed significant improvements in catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), lysozyme (LYZ), total immunoglobulin (total Ig), respiratory burst activity (RBA), total protein, and phagocytosis (PHA) (P < 0.05). Moreover, compared with the control group, supplementation could significantly decrease glucose (GLU) and cortisol (CORT), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (P < 0.05). After the challenge, FW and WG in all treated challenge groups were significantly improved compared to the control group (P < 0.05). FCR showed a significant decrease in all treated challenged groups compared to the control group (P < 0.05). However, malondialdehyde, CAT, GPx, SOD, LYZ, complement activity (C3 and C4), total Ig, RBA, peroxidase, and PHA in challenged treated groups were significantly increased compared to the control group (P < 0.05). All treated challenged groups showed lower ALT, LDH, AST, ALP, GLU, and CORT levels than the control group (P < 0.05). The experiment herein successfully demonstrated that dietary ME stimulated fish growth, antioxidant status, and immune responses in crowding conditions and can be recommended as beneficial feed additives for rainbow trout.

Abstract
Fish in wild are often faced with various types of xenobiotics, that may display synergistic or antagonistic effects. In this study, we aim to examine how exposure to agrochemical compound (Bacilar) and cadmium (CdCl2) alone and in combination affect biochemical parameters (lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alanine aminotransferase; creatine phosphokinase (CKP), cholinesterase) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity, catalase, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl concentrations) of freshwater fish Alburnus mossulensis. Fish were exposed to two concentrations of Bacilar (0.3, and 0.6 mL L-1) and to 1 mg L-1 cadmium chloride alone and in combination for 21 days. Results showed that fish accumulate Cd in their body, with the highest rate in individuals exposed to Cd in combination with Bacilar. Both xenobiotics in fish liver induced the activation of liver enzymes suggesting hepatotoxic effects, with the greatest impact in co-exposed groups. A significant decrease in the hepatocyte's total antioxidant capacity indicates the collapse of the antioxidant defense in fish exposed to Cd and Bacilar. A decrease in the antioxidant biomarkers was followed by increased oxidative damage of lipids and proteins. We also reported altered function in the muscle of individuals exposed to Bacilar and Cd seen as decreased activities in CKP and butyrylcholinesterase. Overall, our results point to the toxicity of both Bacilar and Cd on fish but also to their synergistic effects on Cd bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, and liver and muscle damage. This study highlights the need for evaluating the use of agrochemicals and their possible additive effects on non-target organisms.

Abstract
The imidacloprid-based insecticides (IBIs) are among the most used insecticides worldwide, and chronic and acute toxic effects (days exposure protocols) have been reported in several species in studies of IBIs at lethal concentrations. However, there is little information on shorter time exposures and environmentally relevant concentrations. In this study, we investigated the effect of a 30-min exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of IBI on the behavior, redox status, and cortisol levels of zebrafish. We showed that the IBI decreased fish locomotion and social and aggressive behaviors and induced an anxiolytic-like behavior. Furthermore, IBI increased cortisol levels and protein carbonylation and decreased nitric oxide levels. These changes were mostly observed at 0.013 and 0.0013 µg·L-1 of IBI. In an environmental context, these behavioral and physiological disbalances, which were immediately triggered by IBI, can impair the ability of fish to evade predators and, consequently, affect their survival.

Abstract
Pesticide usage has increased over the last decades, leading to concerns regarding its effects on non-target organisms, especially amphibians. Tadpoles of Rhinella icterica were collected in a pesticide-free place, acclimated in the laboratory (21 days) and exposed (7 days) to three herbicides (20µg/L atrazine (A); 250µg/L glyphosate (G); 20µg/L quinclorac (Q)) and their mixtures. Only 2% mortality was observed over the 28 days of the study. Despite this, significant variations were observed for markers of oxidative balance and body condition when comparing all experimental groups. K and Kn factor showed the lowest values in the group A+G+Q, as well as the activity levels of GST and SOD. In contrast to this, the CAT activity was higher in the same group (A+G+Q). The mixture of the three herbicides proved to be more harmful, which points to the need for more restrictive laws for the use of mixed herbicides.

Abstract
Oxidative imbalance as a pathophysiological mechanism has been reported as an adverse outcome in pregnant women who develop preeclampsia and in their newborns. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests the same mechanism by which air pollutants may exert their toxic effects. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the biomarkers of oxidative stress and their relationship with neonatal disease in premature newborns from mothers with preeclampsia exposed to air pollution during pregnancy. The data of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10 and ozone) were collected at fixed monitoring stations. Oxidative and antioxidant status markers were obtained through special techniques in women with preeclampsia and in umbilical cord blood of their premature newborns. The oxidative stress markers were significantly higher in women with preeclampsia and their newborns who were exposed to higher levels of ambient air pollutants in the first and second trimester of pregnancy. Neonatal diseases are associated with preeclampsia in pregnancies, specifically intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). A significant correlation was identified in the levels of prooxidant agents and antioxidant enzyme activity in the presence of neonatal diseases associated with preeclampsia. There is increased oxidative damage in both the maternal and fetal circulation in women who develop preeclampsia exposed to air pollution during pregnancy. Therefore, these pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia have a greater adverse outcome as neonatal disease in the preterm infant.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Eucalyptus globulus oil and methanolic extract of Ricinus communis seeds on the reproductive biology of the land snail Theba pisana. For this purpose, the snails were exposed to different concentrations of these plant extracts for six weeks. Rates of oviposition, hatching percentages, reproductive hormones and the histological structures of the hermaphrodite gland were estimated. Antioxidant enzymes were also estimated. The obtained results revealed that all tested concentrations of both tested natural products exerted hazardous effects on exposed snails. The mean egg number/snail treated with 2% E. globulus and R. communis were significantly decreased to 22 and 14 eggs respectively compared to 79 eggs for control. The hatching rates were dramatically decreased with increasing concentrations of both products. 2% of R. communis extract caused highly significant decrease in the activities of CAT, SOD, GST and MDA antioxidant enzymes while the same concentration of Eucalyptus oil resulted in elevations of CAT and SOD activities and significantly decreased GST and MDA activities. Levels of reproductive hormones were greatly disrupted and the histological structures of hermaphrodite acini as well as various developmental stages of spermatogenesis and oogenesis of treated snails were strictly spoiled.

FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2022; 48:1221-1233.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) is a toxicant becoming increasingly concentrated in freshwater with the potential to affect aquatic organisms. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), accumulated in fish, can act as an oxidizing agent and cause oxidative damage. To determine the effects of V2O5 on exposed adult Oreochromis mossambicus, acute exposure experiments were conducted. Bioaccumulation and biomarker analyses were performed on various excised tissues of the exposed fish. As expected, accumulated V concentrations in the gills increased as the exposure concentration increased. Gill tissue accumulated more vanadium than muscle tissue. Metallothionein content increased in the highest concentrations compared to the lower concentrations, therefore showing that metallothionein proteins were attempting to sequester V2O5 in the tissues. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed an excitation at lower concentrations and inhibition as the exposure concentrations increased, possibly due to ROS detoxification. Catalase activity decreased from the first exposure concentration to the last concentration; this could have been due to SOD compensation. Protein carbonyl concentration decreased as the concentrations of V2O5 increased, indicating an inhibition of protein oxidation. The IBRv2 comparison revealed the biochemical responses caused by V2O5 more effectively than traditional statistical analysis.

Abstract
Pesticides are well known for their high levels of persistence and ubiquity in the environment, and because of their capacity to bioaccumulate and disrupt the food chain, they pose a risk to animals and humans. With a focus on organophosphate and triazine pesticides, the present review aims to describe the current state of knowledge regarding spatial distribution, bioaccumulation, and mode of action of frequently used pesticides. We discuss the processes by which pesticides and their active residues are accumulated and bioconcentrated in fish, as well as the toxic mechanisms involved, including biological redox activity, immunotoxicity, neuroendocrine disorders, and cytotoxicity, which is manifested in oxidative stress, lysosomal and mitochondrial damage, inflammation, and apoptosis/autophagy. We also explore potential research strategies to close the gaps in our understanding of the toxicity and environmental risk assessment of organophosphate and triazine pesticides.

Abstract
Several studies have reported the presence of phenytoin (PHE) in wastewater treatment plant effluents, hospital effluents, surface water, and even drinking water. However, published studies on the toxic effects of PHE at environmentally relevant concentrations in aquatic organisms are scarce. The present study aimed to determine the effect of three environmentally relevant concentrations of PHE (25, 282, and 1500 ng L-1) on behavioral parameters using the novel tank test. Moreover, we also aimed to determine whether or not these concentrations of PHE may impair acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and oxidative status in the brain of Danio rerio adults. Behavioral responses suggested an anxiolytic effect in PHE-exposed organisms, mainly observed in organisms exposed to 1500 ng L-1, with a significant decrease in fish mobility and a significant increase in activity at the top of the tank. Besides the behavioral impairment, PHE-exposed fish also showed a significant increase in the levels of lipid peroxidation, hydroperoxides, and protein carbonyl content compared to the control group. Moreover, a significant increase in brain AChE levels was observed in fish exposed to 282 and 1500 ng L-1. The results obtained in the present study show that PHE triggers a harmful response in the brain of fish, which in turn generates fish have an anxiety-like behavior.

Selenium nanoparticles impart robust neuroprotection against deltamethrin-induced neurotoxicity in male rats by reversing behavioral alterations, oxidative damage, apoptosis, and neuronal loss. Neurotoxicology 2022; 91:329-339.

Abstract
This study investigated the neuroprotective role of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on deltamethrin-induced neurotoxicity in rats. A total of 32 adult male Wister rats were allocated into the following four groups: 1) control, 2) deltamethrin (0.6 mg/kg), 3) SeNPs (0.5 mg/kg), and 4) deltamethrin + SeNPs. All agents were administered orally three times per week for 2 months. Locomotor behavior, anxiety-like behavior, biochemical parameters, including brain oxidative damage biomarkers (Malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH)), brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and brain genotoxicity were evaluated. The gene expression levels of IGF-1 and Bcl2 were also determined. Moreover, a brain histopathological examination associated with the immunohistochemical determination of Bax in brain tissue was performed. Deltamethrin-intoxicated rats showed a reduction in the locomotor activity associated with a highly anxious state. They also displayed a disturbance in the brain redox state with a decrease in the brain AChE levels and a high DNA fragmentation percentage. Furthermore, they showed a decrement in the immunohistochemical GFAP levels as well as IGF-1 and Bcl2 gene expression levels with an increase in the immunohistochemical Bax levels. All these changes were confirmed by brain histopathology. Interestingly, SeNPs ameliorated all these changes and restored the normal brain architecture. In conclusion. SeNPs possess a potent medicinal activity due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, SeNPs can be a potential agent in ameliorating deltamethrin-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
One of many noteworthy consequences of increasing societal reliance on pesticides is their predominance in aquatic environments. These pernicious chemicals interact with high temperatures from global climate change, heat waves, and natural variations to create unstable environments that negatively impact organisms' health. To understand these conditions, we examined the dose-dependent effects of environmentally relevant pesticide mixtures (metolachlor, linuron, isoproturon, tebuconazole, aclonifen, atrazine, pendimethalin, and azinphos-methyl) combined with elevated temperatures (22 control vs. 32°C for 4-week exposure) on renin, dinitrophenyl protein (DNP, an indicator of reactive oxygen species, ROS), 3-nitrotyrosine protein (NTP, an indicator of reactive nitrogen species, RNS), superoxidase dismutase (SOD, an antioxidant), and catalase (CAT, an antioxidant) expressions in the kidneys of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Histopathological analysis showed widespread damage to kidney tissues in high temperature and pesticide co-exposure groups, including rupture of the epithelial layer, hemorrhaging, and degeneration of tubular epithelium. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated significant declines in renin receptor-like mRNA and protein expressions in kidney tissues under combined exposure to high temperature and pesticides compared with controls; conversely, expression of DNP, NTP, SOD, and CAT increased in kidney tissues under the same conditions. Apoptotic cells were also increased in co-exposure groups as assessed by in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick labeling (TUNEL) assay. The enhanced apoptosis in kidneys of heat and pesticides co-exposed fish was associated with increased caspase-3 (a protease enzyme) mRNA levels. Our results demonstrated that high temperature and pesticides induced oxidative/nitrative stress (i.e., ROS/RNS), damaged tissues, increased cellular apoptosis, and suppressed renin expression in kidneys of goldfish.

Abstract
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are widely used as plasticizers and can be ubiquitously detected in environment. However, the toxic effects and mechanisms of diisononyl phthalate (DINP) on earthworms are still poorly understood. In this study, earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to DINP at various doses (0, 300, 600, 1200, and 2400 mg/kg) to investigate their subchronic toxicity. The results demonstrated that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels displayed an "increase-decrease" trend with the increasing DINP doses after DINP exposure on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased with increasing DINP doses on days 7, 14, and then decreased on days 21, 28. The values of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) showed similar variation patterns and reached a maximum level on 21 d. Moreover, on day 28, the SOD and CAT gene expression levels were upregulated, while the GST gene expression levels were downregulated. Meanwhile, 16S rRNA genes of E. fetida gut bacteria and surrounding soil bacteria were measured after 28 days of exposure to DINP. The Chao index of E. fetida gut bacteria decreased when the treatment with the highest concentration (2400 mg/kg) was applied. At the phylum level, the abundance of Chloroflexi was significantly lower in the gut of E. fetida. In addition, the abundance of Proteobacteria at the phylum level and Ottowia at the genus level significantly increased in the surrounding soil. Overall, our results shed light on the toxic mechanism of DINP at biochemical, molecular, and omics levels, and contributed to a better understanding of the ecotoxicity of DINP.

Abstract
Several studies have indicated that hospital effluents can produce genotoxic and mutagenic effects, cytotoxicity, hematological and histological alterations, embryotoxicity, and oxidative stress in diverse water organisms, but research on the neurotoxic effects hospital wastewater materials can generate in fish is still scarce. To fill the above-described knowledge gap, this study aimed to determine whether the exposure of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) to several proportions (0.1%, 2.5%, 3.5%) of a hospital effluent can disrupt behavior or impair redox status and acetylcholinesterase content in the brain. After 96 h of exposure to the effluent, we observed a decrease in total distance traveled and an increase in frozen time compared to the control group. Moreover, we also observed a significant increase in the levels of reactive oxygen species in the brains of the fish, especially in hydroperoxide and protein carbonyl content, relative to the control group. Our results also demonstrated that hospital effluents significantly inhibited the activity of the AChE enzyme in the brains of the fish. Our Pearson correlation demonstrated that the response to acetylcholinesterase at the lowest proportions (0.1% and 2.5%) is positively related to the oxidative stress response and the behavioral changes observed. The cohort of our studies demonstrated that the exposure of adult zebrafish to a hospital effluent induced oxidative stress and decreased acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain of these freshwater organisms, which can lead to alterations in their behavior.

Abstract
Phenytoin (PHE) is an antiepileptic drug that has been widely used in clinical practice for about 80 years. It is mainly used in the treatment of tonic-clonic and partial seizures. The widespread consumption of this drug around the world has led to PHE being introduced into water bodies through municipal, hospital, and industrial effluent discharges. Since the toxic effects of this drug on aquatic species has been scarcely explored, the aim of this work was to investigate the influence of low (25-400 ngL-1) and high (500-1500 ngL-1) environmentally relevant concentrations of PHE on the development and oxidative status of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. The toxicity of PHE was evaluated from 12 to 96 h after fertilization in D. rerio at concentrations between 25 and 1500 ngL-1. In both the control group and the 0.05% DMSO system, no malformations were observed, all embryos developed normally after 96 h. The severity and frequency of malformations increased with increasing PHE concentration compared to embryos in the control group. Malformations observed included developmental delay, hypopigmentation, miscellaneous (more than one malformation in the same embryo), modified chorda structure, tail malformation, and yolk deformation. Concerning the biomarkers of oxidative stress, an increase in the degree of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and hydroperoxide content was observed (p < 0.05) concerning the control. In addition, a significant increase (p < 0.05) in antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx) was observed at low exposure concentrations (25-400 ngL-1), with a decrease in enzyme activity at high concentrations (500-1500 ngL-1). Our IBR analysis demonstrated that oxidative damage biomarkers got more influence at 500ngL-1 of PHE. The results demonstrated that PHE may affect the embryonic development of zebrafish and that oxidative stress may be involved in the generation of this embryotoxic process.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to low doses of anthropogenic chemicals in the environment continues to be a major health issue. Due to concerns about the effects in humans and wildlife, use of persistent organic pollutants, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), is prohibited. However, their ubiquitous nature and persistence allows them to remain in the environment at low levels for decades. Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) is the most persistent metabolite of DDT and has been shown to cause hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hormonal disorders, and induce oxidative stress in many organisms. Although the effects of acute exposure to DDT and its metabolite DDE have been extensively studied, the chronic effects of sub-lethal DDE exposure at levels comparable to those found in the environment have not been well documented. Long-Evans male rats were used to determine the effect of relatively chronic and short term DDE (doses ranged from 0.001 to 100 μg/L) exposure on endocrine function and oxidative stress at different developmental time points. We found that circulating serum testosterone (T) levels were significantly decreased and T secretion in testicular explants were significantly influenced in a dose dependent manner in both pre-pubertal and pubertal male rats after DDE exposure, with pubertal rats being the most affected contrary to our original prediction. Additionally, exposure to DDE increased expression of protein oxidation indicating a possible increase in cellular damage caused by oxidative stress. This study suggests that chronic exposures to environmentally relevant levels of DDE affected testicular function and decreased T secretion with implications for reproductive capacity.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 230:113147. [PMID: 34979307 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
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.

Effects of Replacement of Dietary Fishmeal by Cottonseed Protein Concentrate on Growth Performance, Liver Health, and Intestinal Histology of Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides). Front Physiol 2022; 12:764987. [PMID: 34992547 PMCID: PMC8724133 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.764987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to explore the effects of replacement of dietary fishmeal by cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC) on growth performance, liver health, and intestine histology of largemouth bass. Four isoproteic and isolipidic diets were formulated to include 0, 111, 222, and 333 g/kg of CPC, corresponding to replace 0% (D1), 25% (D2), 50% (D3), and 75% (D4) of fishmeal. Two hundred and forty largemouth bass (15.11 ± 0.02 g) were randomly divided into four groups with three replicates per group. During the experiment, fish were fed to apparent satiation twice daily. Results indicated that CPC could replace up to 50% fishmeal in a diet for largemouth bass without significant adverse effects on growth performance. However, weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), and condition factor (K) of the largemouth bass were significantly decreased when 75% of dietary fishmeal that was replaced by CPC. The whole body lipid content was increased with the increasing of dietary CPC levels. Oil red O staining results indicated that fish fed the D4 diet showed an aggravated fat deposition in the liver. Hepatocytes exhibited serious degeneration, volume shrinkage, and inflammatory cells infiltration in the D4 group. Intestinal villi appeared shorter and sparse with severe epithelial damage in the D4 group. The transcription levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as transforming growth factor β (tgf-β), interleukin 10 (il-10), and interleukin 11 β (il-11β), were downregulated in the D4 group. The lipid metabolism-related genes carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (cpt1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (pparα), and target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway were also significantly downregulated in the D4 group. It was concluded that suitable replacement of fishmeal by less than 222 g CPC/kg diet had a positive effect on growth performance of fish, but an excessive substitution of 75% fishmeal by CPC would lead to the suppressed growth, liver inflammation, and intestinal damage of largemouth bass.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of xylooligosaccharide (XOS) supplementation on growth, intestinal enzyme, antioxidant and immune-related genes in common carp Cyprinus carpio fed a high-fat diet (HFD). One hundred and ninety two fish with an initial weight of 19.61 ± 0.96 g were allocated into 24 tanks (eight fish per tank in four replicate) and were fed the control diet, HFD, HFD with 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% XOS supplementation. From the result, fish offered HFD with 1% XOS supplementation significantly obtained a higher body mass index and feed efficiency ratio, whereas condition factor was higher in fish fed HFD supplemented with 2% XOS but no difference was attributed to other supplemented group compared to control group. Also, fish fed HFD supplemented with 1%-2% XOS significantly improved protease, lipase, creatine kinase and sodium/potassium ATPase activities compared to other groups. Fish offered HFD were significantly lower in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), myeloperoxidase, acid phosphatase, lysozyme activities and immunoglobulin content, but the opposite result was found for aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase activities, malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl and cortisol content as compared with the control. However, this effect was reversed with HFD supplemented with XOS. Also, interleukin 1β, interleukin 8, tumour necrosis factors, interferons, caspase-3 and caspase-9 in the intestine were all up-regulated in the HFD group, while the reverse pattern was found in SOD, GPX, lysozyme-C, complement 3 and mucin 5b (muc5b), than the control group. These effects were all enhanced by feeding the XOS diet, especially those fed 1%-3% supplementation. In conclusion, XOS inclusion can improve the growth, digestive enzymes, antioxidants and immune response of common carp fed HFD.

Abstract
Despite the ubiquitous presence of multiple pollutants in aqueous environments have been extensively demonstrated, the ecological impact of chemical cocktails has not been studied in depth. In recent years, environmental studies have mainly focused on the risk assessment of individual chemical substances neglecting the effects of complex mixtures even though it has been demonstrated that combined effects exerted by pollutants might represent a greater hazard to the biocenosis. The current study evaluates the effects on the oxidative stress status induced by individual forms and binary mixtures of ibuprofen (IBU) and aluminum (Al) on brain, gills, liver and gut tissues of Danio rerio after long-term exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations (0.1-11 μg L-1 and 0.05 mg L-1- 6 mg L-1, respectively). Lipid peroxidation (LPO), Protein carbonyl content (PCC) and activity of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX) were evaluated. Moreover, concentrations of both toxicants and the metabolite 2-OH-IBU were quantified on test water and tissues. Results show that ibuprofen (IBU) and aluminum (Al) singly promote the production of radical species and alters the oxidative stress status in all evaluated tissues of zebrafish, nevertheless, higher effects were elicited by mixtures as different interactions take place.

Effects of Peppermint Extract and Chitosan-Based Edible Coating on Storage Quality of Common Carp ( Cyprinus carpio) Fillets. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13193243. [PMID: 34641059 PMCID: PMC8512069 DOI: 10.3390/polym13193243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Edible coatings have recently been developed and applied to different food matrices, due to their numerous benefits, such as increasing the shelf life of foods, improving their appearance, being vehicles of different compounds, such as extracts or oils of various spices that have antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, as well as being friendly to the environment. The objective of this research was to develop a new edible coating based on chitosan enriched with peppermint extract and to evaluate its effectiveness to inhibit microbial development in vitro and improve both the quality and shelf life of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C). Three treatments were used: edible coating (C + EC), edible coating +, 5% chitosan (C + ECCh) and edible coating + 1.5% chitosan + 10% peppermint (C + ECChP). Prior the coating carp fillets; the antibacterial activity and antioxidant capacity were evaluated in the peppermint extract and coating solutions. After coating and during storage, the following were determined on the fillet samples: microbiological properties, observed for ECP, an inhibition halo of 14.3 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, not being the case for Gram-negative species, for ECCh, inhibition halos of 17.6 mm, 17.1 mm and 16.5 mm for S. aureus, Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, respectively; for the ECChP, inhibition halos for S. aureus, S. typhimurium and E. coli of 20 mm, 17 mm and 16.8 mm, respectively. For the physicochemical characteristics: an increase in solubility was observed for all treatments during storage, reaching 46.7 mg SN protein/mg total protein for the control, and values below 29.1 mg SN protein/mg total protein (p < 0.05), for fillets with EC (C + EC > C + ECCh > C + ECChP, respectively at the end of storage. For the pH, maximum values were obtained for the control of 6.4, while for the fillets with EC a maximum of 5.8. For TVB-N, the fillets with different CE treatments obtained values (p < 0.05) of 33.3; 27.2; 25.3 and 23.3 mg N/100 g (control > C + E C > C + ECCh > C + ECChP respectively). Total phenolic compounds in the aqueous peppermint extract were 505.55 mg GAE/100 g dried leaves, with 98.78% antioxidant capacity in the aqueous extract and 81.88% in the EC. Biomolecule oxidation (hydroperoxide content) had a significant increase (p < 0.05) in all treatments during storage, 1.7 mM CHP/mg protein in the control, to 1.4 in C + EC, 1.27 in C + ECCh and 1.16 in C + ECChP; TBARS assay values increased in the different treatments during refrigerated storage, with final values of 33.44, 31.88, 29.40 and 29.21 mM MDA/mg protein in the control; C + EC; C + ECCh and C + ECChP respectively. In SDS -PAGE a protective effect was observed in the myofibrillar proteins of fillets with ECChP). The results indicate that the C + ECCh and C + ECChP treatments extend the shelf life of 3–5 days with respect to microbiological properties and 4–5 days with respect to physicochemical characteristics. A reduction in lipid and protein oxidation products was also observed during refrigerated storage. With these findings, this is considered a promising method to increase the shelf life of fish fillets combined with refrigeration and we are able to recommend this technology for the fish processing industry.

Abstract
Imidacloprid (IMI) is an insecticide used worldwide, a neonicotinoid that could cause toxicity in non-target organisms. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a model organism widely used in different fields of research such as behavioral studies, biochemical parameters as well as neurotoxicity research. Here, we investigate whether the exposure to three concentrations (0.15, 15, and 45 μg/L) of IMI for 96 h alters responses in zebrafish. Oxidative stress parameters and acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE) as well as the behavioral responses of locomotion were measured. IMI exposure decreased distance traveled in fish exposed to the 45 μg/L. In the exploratory activity, time spent and transitions to the top area of the water column decreased in fish exposed to all concentrations of IMI. In addition, exposures to 45 and 15 μg/L of IMI decreased episodes of erratic movement in the zebrafish. Exposures to IMI at a concentration of 45 μg/L decreased the time spent in erratic movements and increased the time spent with no movement (i.e., "freezing"). Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was increased in the brain of zebrafish exposed for 96 h to concentrations of 0.15 and 45 μg/L. Brain AChE activity was reduced and the levels of carbonyl protein (CP) increased in brain of zebrafish at concentrations of 15 and 45 μg/L. Lipid peroxidation measured by TBARS and, also non-protein thiols (NPSH) did not show any variation in the brain of zebrafish exposed to IMI. Changes in the activity of cholinergic neurotransmitters in the brain tissues of zebrafish indicate IMI toxicity. Exposures of fish over 96 h to IMI at a nominal concentration of 45 μg/L caused more extensive sublethal responses in zebrafish, but this concentration is well above those expected in the aquatic environment. Studies are warranted to evaluate the effects on behavior and biomarker responses in fish exposed over longer periods to IMI at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyrethroids, one of the most commonly used pesticide classes, are considered to be selectively toxic toward insects rather than toward humans. However, there are accumulating data about pyrethroids toxicity in humans, especially sex organs. Thus, we investigated whether pyrethroids affected reproductive organs, especially the prostate gland. METHODS With 1305 subjects who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, several measurements were performed: 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), a common metabolite of pyrethroids; prostate-specific antigen (PSA); and other covariates. Both logistic and linear regression analyses were performed after stratifying according to kidney function, which was evaluated based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS By logistic regression, the ORs (95% CIs) of the highest quantile to the reference group for higher total PSA were 2.039 (1.018 - 4.084) in the total study population and 2.219 (1.083-4.548) in the high eGFR group. The ORs (95% CIs) of the highest quantile to the reference group for a lower PSA ratio were 1.979 (1.057 - 3.707) in the total study population and 2.101 (1.086 - 4.064) in the high eGFR group. By linear regression, a marginally significant positive correlation between urinary 3-PBA and total PSA (β ± Standard Error = 0.049 ± 0.026, p = 0.0712) and a significant positive correlation between urinary 3-PBA and PSA ratio (β ± Standard Error = 0.018 ± 0.007, p = 0.0191) among the low eGFR group were observed. CONCLUSION This study showed that exposure to pyrethroids was associated with either increased levels of total PSA or alterations in the PSA ratio.

Ecotoxicological evaluation of water from the Sorocaba River using an integrated analysis of biochemical and morphological biomarkers in bullfrog tadpoles, Lithobates catesbeianus (). CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 275:130000. [PMID: 33667769 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles were exposed for 96 h to water from two sites of the Sorocaba River (summer and winter), Ibiúna (PI) and Itupararanga reservoir (PIR) that contained metals. In the liver, in PI, the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) decreased, and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) and carbonyl proteins (PCO) increased. In PIR, the glutathione reduced (GSH) increased, while there was a decrease in catalase (CAT), GPx, GST, PCO, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In winter, GPx and GST increased in both points. Regarding the kidneys, lipoperoxidation (LPO) levels and GST decreased, while GSH increased in the summer. In the winter, LPO increased in PI. In the muscle, in the summer, there was an increase in GSH and GST and change in PCO. In the winter, the levels of PCO increased and CAT decreased in PIR. The area and volume of the hepatocyte and nucleus area increased in the summer and decreased in the winter. Hepatic melanin decreased in the summer after exposure to PIR water. There were the systemic effects of Sorocaba River water exposure at different times of the year with alterations in biomarkers at different levels, in which kidney shows highest Integrated Response of Biomarkers (IBR) value followed by liver and muscle. Biochemical biomarkers were more sensitive than morphological ones. The more sensitive biochemical markers were MT, PCO, GST and LPO. These effects confirm the hypothesis of metabolic alteration in bullfrog tadpoles by the Sorocaba River water.

Abstract
Persistent contaminants are ubiquitous in our water and soil, and thus chronic exposure to environmentally relevant levels of these contaminants may pose a risk to humans and wildlife. Two species of small mammals (deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus and cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus) were collected from historically dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)-contaminated and reference areas at the Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville, AL, USA), a US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-designated Superfund site. Soil samples taken concurrently with mammal collection from the DDT abatement site exhibited DDT and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) levels >1 ppm (USEPA total threshold limit concentration for DDT and DDE <1 ppm), whereas soil samples from the reference area had undetectable levels. Liver samples from individuals of both species collected in the contaminated areas also had significantly elevated DDT/DDE levels, with P. maniculatus averaging an approximately 20× greater load than that documented for S. hispidus. Both rodent species collected from the contaminated site had significantly lower total leukocyte counts and total differential blood cell counts (p = 0.01 and p = 0.04, respectively) than those collected from the nearby (~7000-m) reference site. Cellular stress indices also trended higher in both species, suggesting a potential for chronic exposure to DDT to act as a mediator of oxidative damage. The present study provides support to the idea that environmental exposure to low levels of contaminants can cause physiological consequences that may influence immune responsiveness and initiate cellular stress in resident mammals.

Survival and malformations rates, oxidative status in early life stages of Cyprinus carpio due to exposure to environmentally realistic concentrations of paracetamol. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 768:144585.

Abstract
Paracetamol (PCM) is among the most consumed analgesic and antipyretic drugs worldwide. Due to its high consumption, this drug has been reported ubiquitously on different water bodies, posing a real threat to aquatic organisms. Until now, several studies have pointed out that PCM may induce oxidative stress, histological damage and developmental disorders on different aquatic species. Nonetheless, there is still a huge knowledge gap about the toxic effects that PCM may induce in species of commercial interest such as the common carp Cyprinus carpio. The aim of this study was to evaluate survival and malformation rates induced by PCM (0.5 μg/L - 3.5 μg/L) in early life stages of common carp. Furthermore, oxidative stress biomarkers were evaluated at 72 and 96 h post fecundation. PCM reduced the survival rate of the embryos of up to 90%, as concentration increased. LC50 and EC50m were 1.29 μg/L and 2.84 μg/L, respectively. Biomarkers of cellular oxidation and antioxidant enzymes were modified in a concentration-dependent way with respect to the control group (p < 0.05). The main developmental alterations observed were lordosis, scoliosis, craniofacial malformations, hypopigmentation, growth retardation, pericardial edema and rachyschisis. These data indicate that environmentally realistic concentrations of PCM could be hazardous and affects the development in early stages of C. carpio. Moreover, our findings also indicate that C. carpio embryos may be a useful in vivo model to evaluate embryonic and teratogenic effects of drugs such as PCM.

Abstract
The high demand for food consequently increases the entry of agricultural residues into water resources, and this phenomenon can affect non-target organisms in different ways. Environmentally relevant pesticide effects (per se or in combinations) are scarce in the scientific literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate: (1) the presence of pesticide residues in an important Brazilian source of water supply and power generation (Jacuí river), during 1 year of monitoring. (2) in a laboratory study verify the effects of the most frequently, herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide found in Jacuí river (individualized or in a mixture) on biochemical parameters in different tissues of Oreochromis niloticus. Twenty pesticide residues were detected in superficial water samples, and two of them are banned in Brazilian territory. Atrazine (0.56 µg L-1), azoxystrobin (0.024 µg L-1), and imidacloprid (0.11 µg L-1) were the most frequently herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide, respectively, found in the river and were used in the laboratory assay. O. niloticus exposed to the pesticide mixture exhibited more biochemical effects than individualized exposure groups. This response can be a result of the combined pesticide effects, culminating in an additive or synergistic effect, depending on the biomarker. In individual exposure groups, atrazine presented the most pronounced alterations, followed by azoxystrobin and imidacloprid. Overall, pesticide exposure increased levels of oxidative stress parameters, reduced antioxidant enzyme activities, and induced acetylcholinesterase activity. These findings highlight the threat to aquatic organisms which may be exposed to a miscellaneous of toxic compounds in the environment.

Abstract
The aquatic ecosystem is under increasing pressure from environmental contaminants due to anthropogenic activities. This study investigated the potential of glyphosate and paraquat to induce DNA damage and other cell abnormalities in juvenile African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Juvenile fish were exposed for 96 h to 0.36, 0.48, 0.60, 0.72 and 0.84 mg/L glyphosate; and 0.018, 0.037, 0.055, 0.110 and 0.221 mg/L paraquat. Following the exposure, the fish liver and blood were analysed for DNA damage and micronucleus respectively. DNA damage was analysed using comet assay while the micronucleus test was used for assessing nuclear abnormalities. Both herbicides induced DNA damage in fish, with paraquat exhibiting higher toxicity. The severity in liver DNA damage was observed to be dependent on concentration. The herbicides triggered formation of micronuclei, bean-shaped cells, lobed nuclei, and apoptosis in blood cells of fish. Both herbicides also increased the frequency of occurrence of these cell abnormalities in erythrocytes and showed mutagenic potential in fish. Glyphosate and Paraquat both have mutagenic potentials in fish and this is a reflection of the threat these contaminants pose to fish and other forms of aquatic life in our natural water bodies. Low concentrations of these herbicides should be encouraged when usage is inevitable.

Abstract
The considerable increment in the use of Nanoparticles in the industry has been recognized as an environmental concern today. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the toxicity effects of green synthesized cadmium nanoparticles [Cd]NPs using Moringa oleifera leaves extract on multi-biomarkers in Oreochromis niloticus after four weeks of exposure. The results showed that LC50 values of [Cd]NPs for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h were 2.17, 1.75, 1.49 and 1.22 mg l-1, respectively. There was a significant decrease in the number of white and red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration value in fish exposed to [Cd]NPs. The mean corpuscular volume and neutrophils were increased. [Cd]NPs exposure to fish has led to cytotoxic and genotoxic changes in the erythrocytes. Significant changes were observed in the cortisol, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine levels of the fish exposed to [Cd]NPs. The activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase increased. Glucose, total lipids, urea, and creatinine levels increased in the serum of fish exposed to [Cd]NPs, whereas total protein contents and alkaline phosphatase activity decreased. A significant reduction was observed in glycogen, total antioxidant levels, and superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione S-transferase activities of fish exposed to [Cd]NPs. In contrast, the [Cd]NPs exposure resulted in a significant increase in DNA fragmentation percentages, lipid peroxidation, and carbonyl protein levels in different tissues. The results of the present study confirmed that [Cd]NPs has the toxicity potential to cause Cyto-genotoxicity, oxidative damages, changes in the hematological and biochemical changes, and endocrine disruptor in the fish.

Abstract
In this study, the potential hazardous impacts of the technical grade glyphosate acid (GLY) and its commercial formulation roundup (RD®) were evaluated for the first time on holothurians. To do this, redox status, fatty acid (FA) profile, and histopathology aspects were assessed in the respiratory tree tissue of the sea cucumber Holothuria forskali following short-term exposure (96 h) to a series of concentrations (10, 100 and 1000 μg L-1) of GLY and RD® (glyphosate acid equivalent). Our results showed that both GLY and RD® promoted oxidative stress highlighted with an increase of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid peroxides (LOOH) and advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) levels in all treated groups. In addition, both glyphosate forms were found to perturb the FA composition. However, changes in saturated (SFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) including some essential FA (LA, ARA, EPA and DHA) revealed differential compensatory/adaptive processes in H. forskali depending on the treatment. GLY and RD® were also found to modulate the enzymatic (glutathione S-transferases, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) and non-enzymatic (reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid) antioxidant defense status. Taken together, our results revealed that the commercial formulation produced more pronounced effects on H. forskali respiratory tree than the pure form. This finding was further confirmed by the histological observations.

Abstract
Insecticides used for agricultural pest control, as cypermethrin-based insecticide (CBI) and fipronil-based insecticide (FBI), are constant threats to non-target aquatic organisms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different concentrations of cypermethrin and fipronil on neurotoxicity and oxidative stress in Physalaemus gracilis. Physalaemus gracilis tadpoles were exposed to five insecticide concentrations and a control treatment, with six replicates. During the experimental period, the tadpole mortality rate was evaluated and after 168 h, the neurotoxic enzyme activity and metabolite quantification related to the antioxidant system were measured. Tadpoles reduced acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities when exposed to 20 μg L-1 CBI and at all FBI concentrations, respectively. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities showed an increase from concentrations of 6 μg L-1 and 20 μg L-1 of CBI, respectively. After exposure of P. gracilis tadpoles to FBI, inhibitions of AChE and BChE were observed at the highest concentrations evaluated (500 and 1500 μg L-1). SOD activity decreased from 50 μg L-1 of FBI; however, catalase (CAT) and GST activities and carbonyl protein levels increased, regardless of the evaluated dose. We observed that both insecticides promoted oxidative stress and neurotoxic effects in P. gracilis tadpoles. These results suggest that biochemical biomarkers can be used for monitoring toxicity insecticides for the purpose of preservation of P. gracilis.

[PMID: 32956866 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Brazilian freshwater ecosystems are continuously exposed to pesticides and domestic sewage. The Uruguay River was chosen for this study because of its international importance, as it flows through Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. It receives contaminants such as pesticides and domestic residues. Thus, the aim of this study to assess the accumulation of pesticides in muscle of the fish Astyanax jacuhiensis, its biochemical responses, and the presence of pesticides in water. In total, seven pesticides were registered in water from both river sites. Eight pesticides were detected in fish muscle. The biochemical responses showed that brain lipid peroxidation (LPO) and protein carbonyl (PC) in A. jacuhiensis were higher in the summer. Muscle showed the highest LPO levels in the spring and the highest PC in the summer. Liver LPO and PC levels were higher in the spring and summer. In the gills, the PC was higher in the spring and the LPO in the spring and winter. In the brain and in the gills, glutathione-S-transferase activity was high in the summer and autumn. Catalase activity was lower during the winter and spring. Non-protein thiol (NPSH) levels were lower in the brain in the winter and spring. Muscle tissue showed lower NPSH in the winter (site 1). Liver NPSH showed increased levels in liver in the spring and winter (site 2). The biochemical results clearly is related to pesticides and/or to the presence of other contaminants in the water such as metals or domestic sewage. The accumulation of pesticides in fish muscle added evidence that pesticides have been used in the area surrounding the Uruguay River. In conclusion, the biomarkers assayed in the present study could be used in future investigations considering other sampling sites along Uruguay River.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo effects of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), chlorogenic acid (CGA) and berberine (BBR) on shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were studied. In vitro test showed that the combination of APS and BBR and the combination of APS and CGA have strong immune enhancement effects and no lysosomal membrane damage on hemocyte. Then, feeding experiment was proceeded to optimize the concentrations of compound herbal extracts. Four diets containing G1-G4(0.5 g kg -1 APS + 0.5 g kg -1 BBR, 1.0 g kg -1 APS +1.0 g kg -1 BBR, 0.5 g kg -1 APS +0.5 g kg -1 CGA, 1.0 g kg -1 APS + 1.0 g kg -1 CGA) associated with the control group (common diet) were compared and determined their biomolecule damage to hepatopancreas including DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl. The results indicated that G3 (0.5 g kg -1 APS +0.5 g kg -1 CGA) showed higher total hemocyte counts, phagocytic activities, antibacterial activities and bacteriolytic activities during 6 days feeding, and without biomolecule damages after 6 days post-withdrawal. Therefore, the appropriate immunostimulants formula in this study was the combination of 0.5 g kg -1 APS and 0.5 g kg-1 CGA, which was used for 6 days followed by 6 days post-withdrawal. Additionally, our study provides new support for screening composite immunostimulants formula by using primary shrimp hemocyte culture.

FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2020; 46:2169-2180. [PMID: 32860607 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-020-00865-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farming is one of the major aquacultures in Turkey. Some conditions in fish farming can induce oxidative stress leading to the deterioration in properties such as appearance/color, texture, and flavor in fish meat. This situation may cause the consumer not to prefer edible fish. Although there are some studies on the impacts of light intensity on fish welfare, the changes in the antioxidant enzyme activities have not been elucidated. In the current study, it was intended to examine in rainbow trout how cultivating under different wavelengths affects the antioxidant enzymes and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity, because its activity is associated with oxidative stress, and also the determination of which light is suitable for fish welfare was aimed. Rainbow trout larvae were grown under four lights with different wavelengths: natural sunlight and incandescent long-wave (red light), medium-wave (green light), and short-wave (blue light) LED light. The experiment lasted for 64 days. Biochemical assays were carried on in the brain, gill, and liver of rainbow trout. Antioxidant enzymes and AChE activity, which play an important role in the central nervous system, were assayed. In gill tissues, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and AChE activities increased under all three light wavelengths. In the liver, while activities of antioxidant enzymes and AChE decreased in red light, all of them increased in blue and green light. In the brain, GPx, GST, G6PD, and SOD activities were reduced but AChE activity did not alter under all three light sources. In conclusion, light sources with different spectral structures caused important changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes in rainbow trout. On this basis, it may be thought that this may be a response to the changing redox status of a cell. Based on our results, blue light sources may be suggested for fish welfare in rainbow trout culture, and providing fish welfare by changing light sources can be easy and cheap in fish farming.

Toxic effects of waterborne lead (Pb) on bioaccumulation, serum biochemistry, oxidative stress and heat shock protein-related genes expression in Channa argus. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 261:127714.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is a harmful metal element for aquatic animals. The aim of this study was to determine waterborne Pb exposure on oxidative stress, serum biochemistry and heat shock proteins (HSPs) genes expression in Channa argus. Fish were randomly divided into four groups and the Pb concentrations were 0, 50, 200, and 800 μg/L, respectively. The results showed that the accumulation of Pb was detected in the gill, intestine, liver and muscle following exposure to Pb. Pb accumulation content in tissues was gill > intestinal > liver > muscle. With the increased of Pb exposure concentrations, the levels of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), lysozyme (LZM) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) significantly decreased. Serum biochemistry, oxidative stress parameters and HSPs gene expression were all enhanced with the increase following Pb expose concentration. Our results suggest that waterborne Pb exposure can induce Pb accumulation, oxidative stress and immune response in C. argus.

Organic and conventional agriculture: Conventional rice farming causes biochemical changes in Astyanax lacustris. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 744:140820. [PMID: 32711309 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 06/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
World food production is directly related to human population growth. Chemicals are constantly applied to pest control in crops to increase productivity. Therefore, sustainable alternatives are needed to reduce environmental impacts. The biochemical responses in liver and muscle of Astyanax lacustris collected in different rice planting systems were analysed. Ten fish were collected in organic rice cultivation systems and conventional as well as water and sediment for pesticide analysis. In water from conventional system, bentazon (56.1 μg L-1), fipronil (0.226 μg L-1) and propoxur (0.141 μg L-1) were found, while azoxystrobin and quinclorac were below the limit of quantification (LOQ). There were no pesticides in the sediment from the conventional system. In the water of the organic system, only propoxur (below the LOQ) was registered. Metalaxil (0.025 μg kg-1) were verified in the sediment, while diphenoconazole, dinoxifene and tebuconazole were below the LOQ. The presence of these pesticides in crops with an organic production system may be related to proximity to crops to conventional production systems. Besides this, the amount is very low as compared with conventional system. Muscle glycogen, protein and amino acid levels were higher in fish collected in organic ponds. Lactate and ammonia levels were higher in conventional cultures. Lipids and proteins had greater oxidative damage in both tissues in the conventional system. Although pesticides were detected in organic sediments, the parameters of metabolic and oxidative damage were probably related by exposure to higher concentrations of pesticide in the water or by the lower oxygen content of conventional systems. However, fish mortality was not observed during collections. Despite being an anthropic environment, areas of organic cultivation seem to present better conditions for the survival of A. lacustris.
