Oxidative stability of the hemolymph in different crustacean species
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to determine interspecies and gender differences in the lipid metabolism and hemolymph oxidation stability in intermoult period of the European spider crab (M. squinado), the warty crab (E. verrucosa) and the European spiny lobster (P. elephas). In hemolymph samples activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and paraoxonase 1 (PON 1), as well as hemolymph cholesterol, triacylglycerol and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were determined. The hemolymph of M. squinado showed the highest levels of SOD activity, cholesterol and triacylglycerol and the lowest levels of PON 1 activity compared to values determined in the hemolymph of E. verrucosa and P. elephas. Gender differences were determined only in M. squinado samples. Males had significantly higher activity of PON 1 and lower NEFA values compared to females. M. squinado hemolymph lipid metabolism and oxidation stability in intermoult period could be attributed to their biological, metabolic characteristics and environmental conditions in which these species live.

Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone and Hemolymph Metabolites: Stress Responses in Two Lobster Species
Our laboratory has developed several methods for the quantification of stress in crustaceans. An ELISA was developed for the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) from the American lobster (Homarus americanus). It is sensitive to as little as 0.2 fmol of peptide. Increases in hemolymph CHH were observed under conditions of hypoxia, elevated temperature, and altered salinity. In addition, eleva...

The temperature of habitat water has a drastic influence on the behavioral, physiological and biochemical mechanisms of crustaceans. Hyperglycemia is a typical response of many aquatic animals to harmful physical and chemical environmental changes. In crustaceans increased circulating crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and hyperglycemia are reported to occur following exposure to several en...

Five alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) cultivars from different areas of Iran were evaluated for oxidative markers under salinity conditions. Plants were grown in hydroponic condition by Hoagland nutrient solution containing different amounts of NaCl (control, 50 and 100 mM). Relative growth rate, membrane stability, lipid peroxidation, proline, hydrogen peroxide and relative water contents were dete...

متن کاملMultiple functions of the crustacean gill: osmotic/ionic regulation, acid-base balance, ammonia excretion, and bioaccumulation of toxic metals
The crustacean gill is a multi-functional organ, and it is the site of a number of physiological processes, including ion transport, which is the basis for hemolymph osmoregulation; acid-base balance; and ammonia excretion. The gill is also the site by which many toxic metals are taken up by aquatic crustaceans, and thus it plays an important role in the toxicology of these species. This review...
