Leaching of plastic additives to marine organisms.
It is often assumed that ingestion of microplastics by aquatic species leads to increased exposure to plastic additives. However, experimental data or model based evidence is lacking. Here we assess the potential of leaching of nonylphenol (NP) and bisphenol A (BPA) in the intestinal tracts of Arenicola marina (lugworm) and Gadus morhua (North Sea cod). We use a biodynamic model that allows cal...
متن کاملThe toxicity of nanoplastics to marine organisms
The abundance of nanoplastics in the marine environment is expected to increase due to the increasing use of engineered nanoplastics in various applications (primary nanoplastics), as well as due to the continuous degradation of macroand microplastics at sea (giving rise to so called secondary nanoplastics). Generally, the ability of (engineered) nanomaterials to interfere with cellular metabol...
متن کاملAntitumor Peptides from Marine Organisms
The biodiversity of the marine environment and the associated chemical diversity constitute a practically unlimited resource of new antitumor agents in the field of the development of marine bioactive substances. In this review, the progress on studies of antitumor peptides from marine sources is provided. The biological properties and mechanisms of action of different marine peptides are descr...
متن کاملBiomedical Compounds from Marine organisms
The Ocean, which is called the ‘mother of origin of life’, is also the source of structurally unique natural products that are mainly accumulated in living organisms. Several of these compounds show pharmacological activities and are helpful for the invention and discovery of bioactive compounds, primarily for deadly diseases like cancer, acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS), arthritis, e...
متن کاملColour vision in marine organisms.
Colour vision in the marine environment is on average simpler than in terrestrial environments with simple or no colour vision through monochromacy or dichromacy. Monochromacy is found in marine mammals and elasmobranchs, including whales and sharks, but not some rays. Conversely, there is also a greater diversity of colour vision in the ocean than on land, examples being the polyspectral stoma...
