Ammonia Production, Excretion, Toxicity, and Defense in Fish: A Review
Many fishes are ammonotelic but some species can detoxify ammonia to glutamine or urea. Certain fish species can accumulate high levels of ammonia in the brain or defense against ammonia toxicity by enhancing the effectiveness of ammonia excretion through active NH4+transport, manipulation of ambient pH, or reduction in ammonia permeability through the branchial and cutaneous epithelia. Recent ...
متن کاملEffects of Ammonia Loading on Porcellio Scaber: Glutamine and Glutamate Synthesis, Ammonia Excretion and Toxicity
The effects of ammonia loading in the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber were studied by exposing animals to atmospheres of high PNH3. Isopods show a remarkable tolerance of elevated ambient PNH3, with an LD50 of 89 Pa for a 7-day exposure. However, haemolymph total ammonia concentrations generally remained below 5 mmol l-1 (PNH3=0.37 Pa) over the range of ambient ammonia levels used (6.6­...
متن کاملRoot excretion and plant tolerance to cadmium toxicity – a review
Significant quantities of Cd have been added to soils globally due to various anthropogenic activities, posing a serious threat to safe food production and human health. Rhizosphere, as an important interface of soil and plant, plays a significant role in the agro-environmental system. This article presents a review of relationship between root excretion and microorganisms and plant resistance ...
متن کاملUrea Synthesis/excretion and Ammonia Toxicity in the Gulf Toadfish (opsanus Beta): Basic and Applied Aspects
This study investigated the acute effects of un-ionized ammonia (NH3-N) on11 g fingerlings of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus at two temperatures(23 and 33C); and at 28C with two sizes of fish, 3 and 45 g. In addition,sublethal effects of un-ionized ammonia on growth of Nile tilapia at 28Cwere evaluated. All tests were conducted in flow-through bioassay system. In acute toxic...
متن کاملA Review of Nitrate and Nitrite Toxicity in Foods
Agricultural advancement and population growth have prompted increases in food supplies, and higher crop yields have been made possible through the application of fertilizers. Large quantities of livestock and poultry on farms, along with the accumulation of biomass and agricultural residues, can cause contamination of ground water resources and other water sanitation concerns in both developin...
