“…The lack of response of insect GST to several OPs is widely considered to be due to the existence of several GST isoenzymes or, alternatively, because the ones existing in the studied organisms were not sensitive to that target toxicant [43]. However, other studies have shown the induction of GST in Hydropsyche pellucidula [56] and C. riparius exposed to OPs [28,57], although in the later study the induction was not correlated with concentration. Only two studies have focused on the response of GST to OC and pyrethroid pesticides, both using C. riparius: One found that lindane and permethrin had no effect [43]; the second found a slight inhibition after exposure to lindane, but the response was not statistically significant [58].…”

“…The assertion that ChE activity increases as a function of temperature has been supported by research on freshwater mussels [16,25,27], nevertheless, in studies based on C. riparius, no effect of temperature was observed [26,28]. Glutathione-S-transferases activity shows a variable behavior towards temperature in the three studies described in Table 1 [16,25,27,28].…”

“…Glutathione-S-transferases activity shows a variable behavior towards temperature in the three studies described in Table 1 [16,25,27,28]. Studies reporting variation of biomarker activity with pH [16,25] and type of culture water [19,25] also indicate variable behavior (increased, decreased, or unchanged activity) according to the test species.…”

“…Nevertheless, in other cases, exposure time seems to have no effect, probably because maximum induction was achieved [28,36,48]. Wu et al [61] classified ChE as a fast induction/fast adaptation biomarker due to the rapid response after exposure and rapid return to normal levels after reaching maximum induction, which makes it a good biomarker to show dose-response relationships.…”

Abstract-Studies investigating the use of biomarkers in pesticide risk assessment have greatly increased in recent years; however, issues concerning the ecological meaning of enzymatic responses have proved controversial. Ideally a good biomarker response should be modulated by the environmental contaminants alone and demonstrate a predictable behavior towards certain types of toxins. As these premises are rarely observed, the present study aims to outline research that has contributed to an understanding of the behavior of two widely used biomarkers, cholinesterase and glutathione-S-transferase, describing environmental and biotic factors that affect their response in freshwater invertebrates. Studies were performed in the main classes of aquatic invertebrates with these biomarkers and conclusions were reached concerning their behavior towards the main classes of pesticides. Links between biomarker responses and conventional endpoints were evaluated so that ecological relevance could be attributed to enzymatic responses. Toxicity of mixtures was investigated, and cases of synergism and antagonism were pointed out as factors changing the expected toxicity of aquatic systems and leading to misinterpretations of biomarker responses. Finally, the use of biomarkers as a tool for biomonitoring and in situ assays was investigated, with discussion of advantages and disadvantages of their use.

“…We also showed that, even in ad libitum feeding conditions, clean 17 sediment characteristics had an effect on growth and reproduction (Péry et al, 2003a). There 18 was a clear link between particle size distribution and growth (up to half a day of delay), and 19 between lipid contents and reproduction (up to 25 % difference in fecundity).…”

Biomarkers are widely used in ecotoxicology as indicators of exposure to toxicants. However, their ability to provide ecologically relevant information remains controversial. One of the major problems is understanding whether the measured responses are determined by stress factors or lie within the natural variability range. In a previous work, the natural variability of enzymatic levels in invertebrates sampled in pristine rivers was proven to be relevant across both space and time. In the present study, the experimental design was improved by considering different life stages of the selected taxa and by measuring more environmental parameters. The experimental design considered sampling sites in 2 different rivers, 8 sampling dates covering the whole seasonal cycle, 4 species from 3 different taxonomic groups (Plecoptera, Perla grandis; Ephemeroptera, Baetis alpinus and Epeorus alpicula; Tricoptera, Hydropsyche pellucidula), different life stages for each species, and 4 enzymes (acetylcholinesterase, glutathione S-transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and catalase). Biomarker levels were related to environmental (physicochemical) parameters to verify any kind of dependence. Data were statistically elaborated using hierarchical multilevel Bayesian models. Natural variability was found to be relevant across both space and time. The results of the present study proved that care should be paid when interpreting biomarker results. Further research is needed to better understand the dependence of the natural variability on environmental parameters. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:3158-3167. © 2017 SETAC.
