“…Previous studies on fishes also found that antioxidant responses in the liver are more responsive to pollution than in other organs, as described in a study on Zacco platypus after waterborne exposure to Cu (Kim et al 2014), as well as in a study on O. niloticus, whose liver presented a higher sensitivity than its kidney (Atli and Canli 2010). The liver is a key organ in evaluating the effects of pollutants in fish (Bernet et al 1999).…”

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are vulnerable to many pressures, including pollution. However, environmental quality monitoring in these areas traditionally relies on only water chemistry and microbiological parameters. The goal of the current study was to investigate the role of a set of biomarkers in different target organs (liver, kidney, and gills) of fish in order to assess the environmental quality of an MPA (MTs, GPx, GST, GSH, DNA damage, LPO, AChE, and condition index). Chemical analyses were also performed on liver and muscle tissues to evaluate metal body burdens, and PAHs were identified in bile. A demersal fish (Cathorops spixii) that is widely consumed by the local population was used as bioindicator species, and the results were integrated using multivariate analysis. The use of the biomarker approach allowed for the identification of both seasonal and spatial variations in pollution sources around the Environmental Protected Area of Cananéia-Iguape-Peruíbe (APA-CIP). Higher metal body burdens associated with biological responses were found in the sites under the influence of urban areas during the dry season, and they were found in the sites under the influence of the Ribeira de Iguape River (RIR) during the rainy season. The liver was found to be more responsive in terms of its antioxidant responses, whereas gills were found to be more responsive to biomarkers of effect. These results show that this set of biomarker analyses in different organs of fish is a useful tool for assessing chemical pollution in an MPA.

“…The antioxidant enzymes have been shown to work in a cooperative or synergistic manner to protect against oxidative stress and tissue‐specific damage. These enzyme systems have been proposed as biomarkers of ROS in mediating contaminant exposure and as a potential tool in environmental risk assessment (Ibrahem, Khairy, & Ibrahim, ; Kim et al, ; Kohen & Nyska, ).The present study revealed that SOD activity and GSH content in the kidneys of Nile tilapia fish exposed to crude oil were reduced significantly ( p ≤ .05) in group II intoxicated with used engine oil. These results are in agreement with results reported by Kayode Chidimma and Alwell ().…”

The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin C on the performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) affected by the usage of engine oil. A total of 120 tilapia fish were randomly divided into four equal groups according to dietary treatments applied for 3 weeks: group I (control); group II was exposed to engine oil; group III was exposed to engine oil and supplemented with vitamin C: and group IV was fed only a diet supplemented with vitamin C. According to our results, the group exposed to engine oil (II) showed an induced elevation of kidney function parameters, an upregulation of CYP1A1 mRNA expression level, a reduction in antioxidant status (SOD, GSH) and severe abnormal histological and ultra‐structural changes in the head kidney, trunk kidney and muscle tissue. Supplementation of group III with vitamin C ameliorated the toxic effect induced by engine oil through improvement of kidney function parameters, elevation of the antioxidant status of tissue and improvement of the histological images of renal and muscle tissues. In conclusion, vitamin C has the ability to ameliorate engine oil oxidative stress toxicity in Nile tilapia.

“…There is growing evidence that pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products and other toxic substances in the environment are able to induce the intercellular overproduction of ROS, thus damaging plant cells (Kim et al 2014;Liu et al 2014). MDA formation is considered to be a general indicator of lipid peroxidation.…”

Seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum) were exposed in soil to the polycyclic musk chemical, 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyran (HHCB) for 21 days, to evaluate its effect upon chlorophyll (CHL), lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant system. The content of CHL in leaves was inhibited significantly after 14- and 21-days exposures, whereas it was significantly induced by a low level of HHCB after a 7-days exposure. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in wheat leaves increased with an increase in the concentration of HHCB in soil, indicating that oxidative stress could be induced by HHCB. Moreover, HHCB exposure induced significant antioxidant responses in wheat. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) in wheat leaves were induced by HHCB after 14 and 21 days of exposure. However, the changing trend of the antioxidant enzymes in wheat roots was different from that in leaves. The results suggested that the assayed parameters of T. aestivum could be used as responsive biomarkers for oxidative stress in the soil environment.
