Antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in sturgeon Acipenser naccarii and trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. A comparative study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enzymatic antioxidant activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase) and lipid peroxidation were determined in different tissues (gills, heart, digestive tract, liver, white muscle, skin, red blood cells, swimbladder) of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and sturgeon (Acipenser naccarii). Total tissue antioxidant activity was, except for catalase, generally higher in trout than sturgeon, with the reverse tendency displayed by the liver. In both species, lipid peroxidation in the digestive tract showed higher values compared to the other tissues. Sturgeon, compared to trout, had higher energy content stored as fat in liver and muscle and thus appeared to have an effective safeguard against oxidation, as shown by low lipid peroxidation. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Melatonin administration increases antioxidant enzymes activities and reduces lipid peroxidation in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) erythrocytes
Effects of melatonin on the levels of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GRd), and malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, in erythrocytes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated. The results showed that melatonin statistically activated the CAT, POD, and GRd activity (P < 0.05). Moreover, MDA levels were significa...
متن کاملAcute sensitivity of white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to copper, cadmium, or zinc in water-only laboratory exposures
The acute toxicity of cadmium, copper, and zinc to white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were determined for 7 developmental life stages in flow-through water-only exposures. Metal toxicity varied by species and by life stage. Rainbow trout were more sensitive to cadmium than white sturgeon across all life stages, with median effect concentrations (har...

In this study, the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the muscle, liver and kidney tissues and the antioxidant vitamin (A, C, E) levels in the muscle tissue of juvenile rainbow trout were investigated under different oxygen levels (3.5 mg O2/l, 4.5 mg O2/l and 7 mg O2/l) at the end of the 8 hour trial. Fish (initial weight and length, 30.19±2.2 g and 13.15±0.22 cm, respectively) were dis...

متن کاملEffect of dietary aloe vera on growth and lipid peroxidation indices in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Aloe vera has been used worldwide in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries due to the plethora of biological activities of its constituents. This study was done to evaluate the effects of dietary aloe vera on growth and lipid peroxidation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A total number of 480 O. mykiss (mean weight 9.50 ± 0.85 g) were randomized into four experim...
