Effect of curacron toxicity on the total serum protein content ofCyprinus carpio

Hibiscus vitifolius (Linn.) root extracts shows potent protective action against anti-tubercular drug induced hepatotoxicity

“…The livers were weighed and a known quantity was homogenized in 5 ml of 0.01 M Tris-HCl buffer using glass Teflon tissue homogenizer. The homogenate was then used to determine total proteins with Folin Phenol reagent (Joseph and Raj, 2010), total lipids by the sulfo-phospho-vanillin reaction (James and Sampath, 2011), triglycerides (Abhilash et al, 2011), cholesterol (Fırat and Kargın, 2010), phospholipids (Kuriakose and Kurup, 2011) and glycogen (Baranowski et al, 2011) levels. The homogenate was further centrifuged for 10 min at 2000 rpm to obtain the supernatant.…”

Oxidative stress and hypermethylation induced by exposure of Oreochromis niloticus to complex environmental mixtures of river water from Cubatão do Sul, Brazil

“…Brazil is the world's largest consumer of pesticides (Carneiro et al, 2012), and the main pesticides used in the state of Santa Catarina are glyphosate (Roundups), lambda cyhalothrin (Karates), atrazine and simazine (Herbimixs) and azoxystrobin (priori Xtras) (Salvagni et al, 2011). Pesticides are known as a major concern in the aquatic environment because of their toxicity, persistence and tendency to accumulate in aquatic organisms (Joseph and Raj, 2010). These compounds represent a great danger to the aquatic fauna, notably fish.…”

Does protein content influences accumulation and biomagnification of tantalum in fishes and invertebrates of marine coastal environments?

“…Physiological characteristics, habitat, life cycle and environmental conditions can influence the chemical composition of biota (Diniz et al, 2012), which may explain why there was a negative relationship between these two variables at Pan de Azúcar Bay; heavy metals have impacted this northern location of Chile as a result of mining activities during the 20 th century (Celis et al, 2014), and many pollutants were probably re-suspended from sediments into the water column by floods that occurred in 2015. Some studies suggest that there may be a reduction in total protein levels in some organisms from heavily chemical-contaminated environments (Sharma et al, 2009;Joseph & Raj, 2010), and under such conditions possibly another contaminant might be competing with Ta by binding to proteins (Beyersmann & Hartwig, 2008).…”
