The study aimed mainly to assess effects of omethoate on certain oxidative stress biomarkers in various tissues of frogs (Rana ridibunda). Biomarkers selected for stress monitoring were malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant defense system (ADS) constituent such as reduced glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in the liver, brain, heart and kidney tissues of frogs exposed to 10 and 20 ppm dosages of omethoate for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Results showed that the administrations of omethoate promote MDA content in the tissues of the frogs treated with both dosages of omethoate. With regard to the ADS, GSH-Px, GST, SOD activities and GSH levels decreased after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours in the tissues of treatment groups compared with controls. Collective results demonstrated that the exposures to omethoate of frogs induced an increase in MDA joined with fluctuated ADS. This may reflect the potential role of these parameters as useful biomarkers for assessment of aquatic pollution.
The effect of pomarsol (tetramethyltriurem disulphide), Benlate 1-(NButlycarbomoyl) 2-(Metoxycarboxamido)-bezimidazol, meothrin (α-cyanophenoxbenzyl 2.2.3.3.-tetramethyI cyclopropanecarbonylate), Imperator [α-cyano 3-phenoxybenzylcis, trans-3-(2.2-dichroinyl)-2.2-dimetil research on GOT, GPT (liver enzymes) and CA-I, CA-II (Human erythrocyt) BCA (Bovine erythrocyt). Among the chemicals meothrin, imperator, sumicidin were determined to have inhibitory effect, on bovine CA, human CA and GOT enzymes, but ineffective on GPT enzyme. The I 50 values of chemicals caused inhibition were determined by means of activity percentage [I]diagrams. The values were 3.2×10 -2 M, 3.5×10 -2 M, 2.7×10 -2 M for GOT respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
