Non-essential toxic element (Cd, As, Hg and Pb) levels in muscle, liver and kidney of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) stranded along the southwestern coasts of Tyrrhenian sea
In this study, non-essential toxic metals in the coastal of Tyrrhenian Sea were monitored, during the 2017–2018 period, using the Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) as indicator species. The levels of Cadmium (Cd), Arsenic (As), Mercury (Hg) and Lead, (Pb) were determined in 30 turtles stranded in different locations along the coasts of Campania region of Southern Italy. After morphometric analysis, the non- essential toxic metal accumulation in loggerhead sea turtle muscle and organs have been measured analysing the total concentrations of metals in samples of liver, kidney, and muscle by Atomic Absor...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocators (ARNT1, ARNT2, and ARNT3) of white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus): Sequences, tissue-specific expressions, and response to β-naphthoflavone
Publication date: Available online 17 February 2020Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & PharmacologyAuthor(s): Jon A. Doering, Shawn C. Beitel, Sarah Patterson, Bryanna K. Eisner, John P. Giesy, Markus Hecker, Steve WisemanAbstractSturgeons (Acipenseridae) are ancient fishes that have tissue-specific profiles of transcriptional responses to dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) that are unique from those generally measured in teleost fishes. Because DLCs exert their critical toxicities through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), this transcription factor has been the subject of intensi...

Modulation of growth performance, non-specific immunity, intestinal morphology, the response to hypoxia stress and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) by dietary supplementation of a multi-strain probiotic
In conclusion, dietary MP supplementation at 1.68 g kg−1 could promote growth, intestinal morphology and antioxidant capacity, while enhancing host immunity requires higher dosages of MP. Broken-line analysis of weight gain revealed that 1.34 g kg−1 is the optimum dosage for the growth of grass carp.Graphical abstract (Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology and Pharmacology)

Comparative analyses of oxidative stress response and metallothionein induction in white sturgeon and rainbow trout during acute waterborne copper exposure
Publication date: Available online 7 February 2020Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & PharmacologyAuthor(s): Kamran Shekh, Alper James Alcaraz, Som Niyogi, Markus HeckerAbstractEarly life-stages of the endangered white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) have been shown to be among the most sensitive fishes to aqueous copper (Cu) exposure. In a recent analogous study, we examined the role of whole-body Cu accumulation and Na homeostasis in species-specific differences between the sensitivity of white sturgeon and a common laboratory fish model, rainbow trout, to Cu. However, the potential ro...
