Testosterone metabolism in Neomysis integer following exposure to benzo(a)pyrene.
Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are important enzymes involved in the regulation of hormone synthesis and in the detoxification and/or activation of xenobiotics. CYPs are found in virtually all organisms, from archae, and eubacteria to eukaryota. A number of endocrine disruptors are suspected of exerting their effects through disruption of normal CYP function. Consequently, alterations in steroid hormo...
متن کاملEffects of methoprene, nonylphenol, and estrone on the vitellogenesis of the mysid Neomysis integer.
The induction of the female-specific protein, vitellogenin, in male fish is a well-established endpoint to assess exposure to estrogen-like chemicals. The use of vitellogenesis as a biomarker for xenobiotic exposure in egg-laying invertebrates, however, is still relatively unexplored. Recently, we developed a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for vitellin in Neomysis intege...
متن کاملDistribution and swimming behaviour of Neomysis integer (Peracarida: Mysidacea) in response to gradients of dissolved oxygen following exposure to cadmium at environmental concentrations
Neomysis integer (Peracarida: Mysidacea) is a dominant member of the hyperbenthos of the upper reaches of European estuaries. They are highly dynamic environments that experience, amongst other things, large-scale fluctuations in dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. The present study reports the tolerance and swimming responses of N. integer to hypoxia, together with the modifying effects of en...
متن کاملMetallothioneins and cytosolic metals in Neomysis integer exposed to cadmium at different salinities.
In the present study the induction of metallothioneins (MTs) and its relation to cytosolic metal concentrations (Zn, Cu and Cd) in the euryhaline crustacean Neomysis integer exposed to Cd at different salinities was studied. N. integer was exposed to the same free cadmium ion activity of 5.74 x 10(-9) mol l(-1) (i.e. 1/5 of the 96 h LC(50) value expressed as cadmium activity) in hypo-osmotic (5...
متن کاملEndogenous boldenone-formation in cattle: alternative invertebrate organisms to elucidate the enzymatic pathway and the potential role of edible fungi on cattle's feed.
Although beta-boldenone (bBol) used to be a marker of illegal steroid administration in calves, its endogenous formation has recently been demonstrated in these vertebrates. However, research on the pathway leading to bBol remains scarce. This study shows the usefulness of in vivo invertebrate models as alternatives to vertebrate animal experiments, using Neomysis integer and Lucilia sericata. ...
