Tatlı Su Salyangozlarında Fipronilin Glutatyon ve Histolojisine Etkileri

Abstract

Fipronil (C12H4Cl2F6N4OS, CAS No: 120068-37-3) is frequently used in agricultural fields and veterinary medicine as an insecticide and acaricide. It is known to contaminate aquatic ecosystems by mixing with surface waters and to accumulate in abiotic matrices. In this study, the effects of fipronil are investigated using freshwater snails. After exposure of snails to 1, 10 and 100 mg L-1 fipronil for 7 days, all body tissues were taken. As a result of the study of glutathione, one of the tissue antioxidant parameters, a significant increase was observed in the control group, which was administered 1 mg L-1 fipronil, compared to the other dose groups (P
