Abstract

Environmental contamination by metals has increased in recent years due to the excessive use of metals in agriculture and industry. Due to their bioconcentration, immutable and non-degradable properties, these metals constitute a major source of pollutants. Among these metals cadmium, lead and mercury are non-essential, where as copper, iron, manganese, and zinc are essential elements. They are required in trace amounts by all forms of life but are toxic when present in excess. Considerable information is available on the toxic effects of cadmium on biological mechanisms at all integration levels, such as molecular, biochemical, physiological and behavioural, in animals. It is also well known that heavy metal contamination alters cellular physiology, particularly by affecting aspects such as transport across plasma membranes, mitochondrial functions, lysosomal stability etc. Even though it has been demonstrated that the in vitro addition of heavy metals stimulates membrane lipid peroxidation, the in vivo effects exerted by different cations on this process are still not clear. The present work reports the effect of exposure to sublethal concentrations of heavy metals such as Cu and Cd on lipid peroxidation in the tissues of the edible freshwater crab, Oziotelphusa senex senex. 16 refs., 3 tabs.

In vivo effects of cadmium chloride on certain aspects of carbohydrate metabolism in the tissues of a freshwater field crab Barytelphusa guerini

Journal Article Reddy, S; Venugopal, N; Ramana Rao, J - Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology; (USA)

Cadmium is a toxic, non-essential heavy metal inhibiting numerous enzymes with functional sulfhydryl groups. Among the animals, aquatic organisms are most sensitive to heavy metals. Various aspects of toxic effects of cadmium pollution on fishes have been extensively reviewed. Survey of literature reveals that relatively few attempts have been made on the various aspects of cadmium toxicity in crustaceans and these studies were mainly devoted to marine forms. The freshwater crustaceans, particularly the freshwater field crab, Barytelphusa guerini, received less attention. This crab forms one of the major components of the paddy field ecosystem and has an edible importance amongmore »« less

Vanadium-mediated lipid peroxidation in microsomes from human term placenta

Journal Article Byczkowski, J; Wan, B; Kulkarni, A - Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)

Vanadium is considered an essential element present in living organisms in trace amounts but it is toxic when introduced in excessive doses to animals and humans. Vanadium compounds are extensively used in modern industry and occupational exposure to high doses of vanadium is quite common. In pregnant mice, vanadium accumulates preferentially in the placenta and to lower extent in fetal skeleton and mammary gland during exposure to radioactive vanadium. Accumulation of vanadium in fetoplacental unit may present threat to the fetus by interacting with enzymes and ion-transporting systems in membranes. It is also possible that accumulation of vanadium with itsmore »« less

Acute and chronic toxicity of endosulfan to crab: Effect on lipid metabolism

Journal Article Rafi, G; Srinivas, T; Reddy, S; ... - Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology; (United States)

Endosulfan is toxic to fish and its toxic effects have been studied in several freshwater fish. However, information regarding toxicity of endosulfan to many freshwater invertebrates is fragmentary. Few reports are available on the toxic effect of endosulfan on carbohydrate and protein metabolisms of freshwater field crab, Oziotelphusa senex senex, another nontarget organism of aquatic ecosystem. The work on lipid metabolism under organochloride insecticide (OCI) stress is scant. The OCI tend to accumulate in the lipid rich tissues of the biosystem due to their lipophilic nature. The changes in lipid profiles under OCI stress reported to cause profound changes inmore »« less

In vivo effects of nickel and cadmium in rats on lipid peroxidation and ceruloplasmin activity

Journal Article Sole, J; Huguet, J; Arola, L; ... - Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology; (USA)

Before Ni(II) and Cd(II), or any other metallic ion, can interact intracellulary, it must penetrate the cell membrane. The latter, therefore, is a primary target for toxic metals. Damage to cell membranes may allow a greater uptake of metal and thus injury may extend to more critical targets, although loss of plasmatic membrane functionality may be a crucial factor to explain the interactions of these metals with cellular components. In this sense the present study has been carried out. Factors that have been investigated in order to prove the membrane response of nickel and cadmium toxicity include lipid peroxidation, sincemore »« less

Possible role of regional superoxide dismutase activity and lipid peroxide levels in cadmium neurotoxicity: in vivo and in vitro studies in growing rats

Journal Article Shukla, G; Hussain, T; Chandra, S - Life Sci.; (United States)

Cd/sup 2 +/ (0.4 mg/kg) administration to growing rats (45 +/- 5 g) intraperitoneally, daily for 30 days was found to decrease the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in all the brain regions, except hippocampus. The concentrations of lipid peroxides were significantly elevated in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, corpus striatum and midbrain. A 100% inhibition in SOD activity was observed by 14 ..mu..M and 50 ..mu..M of Cd/sup 2 +/ in bovine blood and rat brain preparations, respectively. Cadmium-induces strong inhibitory effect on brain and purified bovine blood SOD suggested a direct effect of the metal on enzyme molecule. Furthermore,more »« less
