The Biochemical Responses of Bivalve Molluscs to Neuroleptic Chlorpromazine Are Comparable With the Responses of Higher Vertebrates
K. Yunko
Abstract:Pharmaceuticals such as chlorpromazine (Cpz) are emerging aquatic pollutants with potential effects on non-target organisms. However, its effects on aquatic organisms remain limited and inconclusive. The aim of this study was to compare the responses to Cpz in marine and freshwater bivalve molluscs. Methods. Mytilus galloprovincialis and Unio tumidus were exposed to pM and nM concentrations of Cpz for 14 days and analysed 16 parameters, including cytotoxicity, oxidative/reductive stress responses, metallothi… Show more
