Physiological stress in fish during toxicological procedures: A potentially confounding factorWiley - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 135-146 - 1995
T.G. Pottinger, G. M. Calder
AbstractAn increasing body of evidence suggests that stress may modulate the
response of an animal to toxicological challenge. The degree of stress inherent
in the procedures comprising a fish LC50 study (OECD guidelines for the testing
of chemicals, “Fish, Acute Toxicity Test” No. 203, adopted May 12, 1981) was
assessed by measuring plasma cortisol levels (rainbow trout) and whole‐body
levels of ... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractOrganic extracts of raw water from 11 water courses of São Paulo State,
Brazil, were collected during one year bimonthly and tested for mutagenicity
using the Ames test, with strains TA98 and TA100 of Salmonella typhimurium with
and without metabolic activation. The samples were extracted with XAD2 resin and
eluted with methanol and methylene chloride. From the 75 samples analyzed, 14

Effect of nitrite exposure on hematological parameters and blood respiratory properties in the sea bass Lates calcariferWiley - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 259-266 - 1995
Norman Y.S. Woo, SW Chiu
AbstractChanges in hematological parameters and blood respiratory properties of
Lates calcarifer in response to nitrite exposure were studied. Exposure to 10 mg
· L−1 NO2‐N for 8 days resulted in significant increases in blood nitrite and
methemoglobin contents. Total hemoglobin was reduced resulting in an overall
decline in functional hemoglobin. There was no significant change in hematocrit
and ... hiện toàn bộ
