Cypermethrin Influence on Oxidative Status and Anxious Behaviour in Paracheirodon innensi Species

Abstract

The non-discriminatory use of pesticides and herbicides to increase agricultural production has caused great concern, as these products are likely to reach the aquatic environment, thus representing a health problem for aquatic species, but also for humans. Cypermethrin, a pyrethroid type II insecticide, is widely used in agriculture, but also for pest control of plants and stored agricultural products, as well as for combating the biological vectors of human and animal diseases. The administration of cypermethrin to Paracheirodon innensi determined ample variations in the activity of oxidative stress enzymes and malondialdehyde concentration, in close correlation with the concentration used, but also the occurrence of some locomotor deficiency and an anxiety state.

Evaluation of DDGS as a Low-Cost Feed Ingredient for Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio Linneus) Cultivated in a Semi-Intensive System

“…One way to reduce oxidative stress caused by high cultivation densities or environmental conditions is the use of diets with antioxidant potential. For this reason, research aimed at identifying ingredients with antioxidant potential are topical [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. In general, an increased activity of antioxidant enzymes signals the presence of stress [ 53 , 54 ].…”

Effect of Glyphosate Herbicide on Some Hematological and Biochemical Parameters in Carassius auratus L.

“…The activity of superoxide-dismutase (SOD) was determined on the basis of the ability of the enzyme to inhibit the reduction of Nitro-Blue-Tetrazolium (NBT) by superoxide radicals, catalase (CAT) by the Sinha spectrophotometric method, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) by the 5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid which reacts with the remaining reduced glutathione forming a complex colored in yellow, the malondialdehyde concentration (MDA) by the 2-thiobarbituric acid method and proteins concentration by the Bradford method [19][20][21].…”

Ceratonia Siliqua Methanolic Extract on 6-OHDA Zebrafish Model Antiacetylcholinesterase and Anxiolytic Profile

“…In the last years, most of research studies were focused on the discover y of natural compounds with pharmacological properties to exploit them in the prevention and treatment of many serious illnesses. On the other hand, it is known that the disruption of the balance between pro-oxidant and anti-oxidant systems results in oxidative disasters in the respective organisms [1,2].…”

“…During normal cellular respiration, both metallic catalysis processes and electron transport at the membrane level, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated such as: hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, hypochloric acid, superoxide anion, oxygen singlet, lipid peroxides and hypochlorite [3][4][5]. ROS induces imbalances in DNA, RNA, proteins, amino acids and unsaturated lipids and, most often, results in the establishment of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases [6].…”
