“…Significant increases of SOD and CAT activity compared with the control group were discovered in the liver and musculature of Oreochromis niloticus treated with different concentrations of ammonia . In shrimp ( Palaemonetes argentinus ) exposed to the herbicide Atrazine, SOD activity (which is an adaptive response to increased ROS production) increased 2.5‐fold compared with the base values .…”

Trout production represents a major agricultural activity in Serbia. Organic compounds are drained into the environment, usually without previous sedimentation, thus affecting the stream biota. Considering that biological monitoring is commonly based on aquatic macroinvertebrates as target organisms, the authors used larvae of Dinocras megacephala to estimate trout farm effects on the mass of the larvae and their antioxidative defense in pollution stress conditions. Four locations were chosen along the channel of the Raška River, 2 upstream (L1, L2) and 2 downstream (L3, L4) from the trout farm outlet. Basic physical and chemical water parameters were measured. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity changes were analyzed to determine the level of oxidative stress caused by the increase of organic compounds originating from the trout farm. Dissolved oxygen concentration decreased from the upstream to downstream locations. Furthermore, the concentration of ionized ammonia was almost 10 times higher at the downstream locations than at the upstream locations. Larval mass, as well as CAT activity, was significantly higher at L3 compared with the other 3 locations. Activity of SOD was significantly higher at L3 than at L1. The results indicate that higher concentrations of organic compounds from the trout farm induce clear changes in the status of the antioxidant defense of D. megacephala larvae.

“…In other fish species, sub-chronic exposure to low atrazine increased CAT and SOD activities (56,59), whereas acute exposure generally lowered CAT, GPx, and SOD activities (55,57,58), with exception of neotropical fish, which showed no change (56). Furthermore, in two studies atrazine exposure of Gammarus kischineffensis and shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus resulted in lower CAT but higher SOD activity (61,62).…”

“…Atrazine did not have any influence on the levels of lipid peroxidation products in aquatic organisms at early stages of development (45)(46)(47)(48). In adult aquatic organisms, increases in MDA or TBARS were reported after sub-chronic exposure (14-40 days) to higher atrazine concentrations (≥42.8 µg L -1 ) (49-52, 54), whereas acute exposure of one or two days did not cause lipid peroxidation (56,62). An exception is the study by Owolabi et al (60), who reported higher MDA concentrations after a four-day atrazine exposure.…”

This review article provides a summary of the studies relying on oxidative stress biomarkers (lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in particular) to investigate the effects of atrazine and terbuthylazine exposure in experimental animals and humans published since 2010. In general, experimental animals showed that atrazine and terbuthylazine exposure mostly affected their antioxidant defences and, to a lesser extent, lipid peroxidation, but the effects varied by the species, sex, age, herbicide concentration, and duration of exposure. Most of the studies involved aquatic organisms as useful and sensitive bio-indicators of environmental pollution and important part of the food chain. In laboratory mice and rats changes in oxidative stress markers were visible only with exposure to high doses of atrazine. Recently, our group reported that low-dose terbuthylazine could also induce oxidative stress in Wistar rats. It is evident that any experimental assessment of pesticide toxic effects should take into account a combination of several oxidative stress and antioxidant defence biomarkers in various tissues and cell compartments. The identified effects in experimental models should then be complemented and validated by epidemiological studies. This is important if we wish to understand the impact of pesticides on human health and to establish safe limits.

“…Moreover, high vitamin E content in tissues would inhibit tissue lipid peroxidation in several fish species (Frigg et al, 1990;Gatta et al, 2000;Huang et al, 2004a,b;Ruff et al, 2002;St ephan et al, 1995). In addition, the powerful modulatory effects of vitamin E was demonstrated against atrazine-induced toxicity in rats (Singh et al, 2011), in the catfish Clarias gariepinus (Kadry et al, 2012), in the freshwater shrimp Palaemonetes argentines (Griboff et al, 2014) and against the geno-and cytotoxicity of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in erythrocytes of O. niloticus (Harabawy and Mosleh, 2014). Recently, Hassaan et al (2014) showed that many cytotoxic and genotoxic alterations induced in O. niloticus by exposure to the fungicide copper oxychloride, were reversed to a great extent with supplementation of vitamin E in diets, in comparison with those exposed to fungicide alone.…”
