Genotoxicity of two heavy metal compounds: lead nitrate and cobalt chloride in Polychaete Perinereis cultrifera
(Springer, 2017)
The present study explores the in vivo and in vitro genotoxic effects of lead nitrate, [Pb(NO3)2] a recognized environmental pollutant and cobalt chloride (CoCl2), an emerging environmental pollutant in polychaete Perinereis ...
Effects of benzo(k)fluoranthene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Benzo(k)fluoranthene [B(k)F] is one of the widespread priority pollutants of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that has been scarcely studied for exposure assessment. With studies reporting a high amount B(k)F in sediments ...
Genotoxic potency of mercuric chloride in gill cells of marine gastropod Planaxis sulcatus using comet assay
(Springer, 2015)
In vivo and in vitro exposures were used to investigate the genotoxicity of mercuric chloride (HgCl<sub>2</sub>) to the marine snail, Planaxis sulcatus. The comet assay protocol was validated on gill cells exposed in vitro ...
Glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and lipid peroxidation as a biomarkers of oxidative stress in snails: A review
(University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 2016)
Antioxidant defense plays a crucial role in the response of an organism to pollutants. Several processes stimulate the production of free radicals or deplete the antioxidant defense, which if not regulated properly, may ...
An integrated approach to study the biomarker responses in marine gastropod Nerita chamaeleon environmentally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(ISJ, 2017)
Ecological risk assessment using multiple biomarkers produce a large amount of data that is hard to interpret and the result are often contradictory. In this context, Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index was used to ...
Genotoxicity of cadmium chloride in the marine gastropod Nerita chamaeleon using comet assay and alkaline unwinding assay
(Wiley, 2015)
This paper presents an evaluation of the genotoxic effects of cadmium chloride (CdCl<sub>2</sub>) on marine gastropod, Nerita chamaeleon following the technique of comet assay and the DNA alkaline unwinding assay (DAUA). ...
DNA damage and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata exposed to phenanthrene
(Springer, 2016)
DNA damage and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata was measured after in vivo exposure to four different concentrations (10, 25, 50, and 100 mikrog/L) of phenanthrene. Comet assay was used for measurement ...
