Acute toxic effects of lead (Pb2+) exposure to rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) revealed by histopathological examination and transcriptome analysis

Genomic deciphering of sex determination and unique immune system of a potential model species rare minnow ( Gobiocypris rarus )

“…Y21201-1-101), and all experiments were conducted as per the guidelines of the committee. The Pb 2+ treatment and LC 50 assessment were performed as described previously ( 57 ).…”

Effects on grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) induced by waterborne lead exposure and the association with alteration of microbiota in the intestine and water

“…In the control groups, the same volume of PBS was added. One hundred millilitre water from the middle of the aquarium and the posterior intestine of grass carp from each aquarium were sampled ( n = 3) at 6 h, 48 h and 96 h (W6 h, W48 h, W96 h, C6 h, C48 h and C96 h, respectively) after Pb(NO 3 ) 2 or PBS exposure (Liu et al, 2020; Shi et al, 2020; Souid et al, 2015). Fish were not fed during the 96 h of Pb exposure.…”

Recent advances in environmentally benign hierarchical inorganic nano-adsorbents for the removal of poisonous metal ions in water: a review with mechanistic insight into toxicity and adsorption

“…[55][56][57][58] Together with brain damage, lead also induces kidney damage, gastrointestinal diseases, high blood pressure, and vitamin D metabolism. 59 The toxicity mechanisms of lead are because it mimics the actions of metal ions and interacts with proteins. By substituting the essential divalent cations (Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ , and Mg 2+ ) and also by binding to the sulydryl (-SH) and amide groups (-CONH 2 ) of enzymes, lead modies their conguration and weakens their activities, resulting in malfunction of the host protein.…”
