Antioxidant defence barrier of great tit Parus major nestlings in response to trace elements

Abstract: Metals can have direct and indirect effects on the generation of reactive oxygen species in wild birds. The aim of this work has been to examine the effect of exposure to trace metals (copper Cu, iron Fe, cobalt Co, manganese Mn) on oxidative stress biomarkers such as lipoperoxidation TBARS and level of superoxide dismutase SOD, catalase CAT, and reduced glutathione GSH in the livers and kidneys of great tit Parus major nestlings (n = 165, 63 broods) living in polluted environments associated with soda plants … Show more

“…Third, metals can cause oxidative stress by increasing the formation of ROS when the amounts of antioxidants are insufficient to defend against the growing amounts of free radicals (Pizzino et al 2017 ; Koim-Puchowska et al 2020 ). The effects of other metals on the induction of oxidative stress in the skeletal muscles shown in the correlation analysis also should be noted.…”

“…Many researchers report that, in polluted environments, toxic metals and organic pollutants resulting from increased anthropopressure are found to be modulators of the activity of the most important metabolic enzymes (Kamiński et al 2009;Wołonciej et al 2016;Koim-Puchowska et al 2020). ROS generation patterns have a major impact on cellular functions and mainly induce disintegration of cell membrane permeability as well as nuclear and mitochondrial DNA damage (Schilderman et al 1997).…”
