“…Salama et al [30] reported an increase in levels of GSH and increased oxidative stress in the land snail Helix aspersa exposed to chlorpyrifos. Leomanni et al [31] reported induction of the antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT, GPX and glutathione reductase in the aquatic snail species Cantareus apertus exposed to the carbamate carbaryl.…”

Aquatic reservoirs remain the ultimate sink of chemical pollutants emanating from anthropogenic activities such as agriculture, mining and industry. Freshwater biota undoubtedly is at risk from the adverse effects of these water pollutants and there is therefore, a need to monitor effects of these chemical pollutants in order to safeguard the health of aquatic biota. We investigated the oxidative stress effects of chlorpyrifos and lead on the freshwater snail Helisoma duryi to assess the potential of using this enzyme system as a biondicator of exposure to environmental pollutants. Groups of snails were exposed to 5 ppb lead acetate and 25 ppb chlorpyrifos for 7 days after which half of the snails were sacrificed and the other half were allowed to recover in clean water and sacrificed after another 7 days. Post mitochondrial fractions were used to measure the activities of the following antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase and diphosphotriphosphodiaphorase. Both pollutants enhanced the activities of all the antioxidant enzymes suggesting a defensive mechanism by the snail to combat the oxidative stress due to the organophosphate chlopryrifos and metal pollutant lead. There was a significant recovery of the antioxidant defense system of the snails allowed to recover in clean water shown by the reduced alteration of the antioxidant enzyme activities of the snails allowed to recover for 7 days. This suggests the need to minimize exposure of aquatic biota to chemical pollutants and remediate the polluted water reservoirs in order to safeguard the health of aquatic life.

“…Although lack of correlation between biomarker responses in E. fetida and the presence of organochlorine insecticides in agricultural soils was observed [97], neurotoxicity of dimethoate in the isopod Porcellionides pruinosus was documented, alongside with oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation [98]. Oxidative damage was also described for the land snail Cantareus apertus upon exposure to carbarylcontaminated food [99]. Balieira et al [100] reported activity of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase in A. mellifera exposed to imidacloprid.…”

Calycosin-7-O-β-d-glucoside (CG) is an important active isoflavone compound in Radix Astragali that has many bioactivities. However, the toxicological effects and related toxicological mechanism of CG have been rarely documented. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity effects of CG on the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Some characteristics of the nematode, including lifespan, movement behavior and reproductive capacity, were used to detect the toxic effects of CG on C. elegans. The results showed that CG could shorten the lifespan of C. elegans by up to 25.3% and severely damage the movement of N2 larvae compared with the control group. Moreover, CG could prolong the generation times and reduce the brood sizes. Furthermore, CG promoted the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which caused oxidative stress, increased the mRNA expression of sod-1, sod-2, sod-3, sod-5, ctl-1, ctl-2 and ctl-3, and induced the antioxidant enzymes activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase to scavenge free radicals. However, antioxidant treatment experiments showed that Trolox could reduce the level of ROS caused by CG to the normal state of the control. These results suggested that the generation and elimination of ROS could not restore normal homeostasis in C. elegans treated by CG. These findings indicated that the activation of oxidative damage is one of the most important toxic mechanisms of CG in C. elegans.
