Oxidative stress in tench,Tinca tinca(L.), caused by sport fishing

SummaryThe effects of angling on oxidative/antioxidant systems in tench (Tinca tinca) were tested to determine oxidative stress. A total of 50 tench (1-year-old, 16 cm TL) were captured in a 1800 m 2 pond and transferred to an aerated tank for sampling (n = 5) 3 h later. Forty-five of the tench were stocked in a 50 m 2 pond and recaptured (n = 5 per sample) 2, 7, and 17 days thereafter. The remaining five tench were used as the control. Superoxide anion, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lipid peroxides were determined in the liver, brain, white muscle, and gills. Results indicated that there were changes in the liver superoxide levels 2 days after angling, but there were no enzyme responses or increases in lipid peroxidation. Superoxide anion values returned to normal 7 days after capture. The conclusion is that tench can recover within a short period of time from the oxidative stress caused by angling.

“…The antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been proposed as the key component of a cellular defense system against reactive oxygen species [72] and major biomarkers of gastric oxidative stress [73]. These antioxidant enzymes are natural protective barriers against lipid peroxidation that prevent the generation of hydroxyl radicals and protect the cellular constituents from oxidative damage [74].…”

Objective: The ethanolic extract of Vitis vinifera leaves (VVE) (500 mg/kg body weight), ranitidine (50 mg/kg body weight) and both of them were tested for their gastroprotective and curative effects against the incidence of peptic ulcer. Methods:The antiulcer effects of VVE were investigated using a combination of indomethacin and cold-stress for 2h. To ascertain the mechanism of action of VVE, its protective and curative effects were studied on gastric volume, gastric juice acidity, ulcer index and malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO) activities of both stomach and duodenum of rats. Moreover, histopathological effects on stomach and duodenum were determined. Results:The antioxidant activity of VVE was demonstrated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test. VVE was found to reduce the ulcer index, gastric volume and the level of gastric juice acidity. Also, VVE showed gastroprotective and curative activities mainly through improvement of antioxidant status and decreasing lipid peroxidation accompanied with amelioration of both stomach and duodenum architectures. Conclusion:The prophylactic and curative effects of VVE proved to be effective in preventing gastric and duodenal ulceration which may be probably due to its antioxidant and anti-acid secretory effects.

“…Catalase catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, thereby protecting cells against oxidative damage. 22 In our rats and mice, oxidative stress, as measured malondialdehyde catalase levels, was more pronounced in animals given wood shavings as bedding. Ammonia production is very high in wood shavings compared with other bedding materials.…”

Components of bedding might interact with experimental treatments and affect the outcome of various experiments. Here we studied the biochemical effects of 3 rodent bedding materials that are commonly used in Egypt. Male and female rats and mice were assigned randomly into 4 single-sex and single-species groups (10 animals per group). Three types of bedding-rice straw, wheat straw, and pine wood shavings-were evaluated. After 4 wk, animals were euthanized, and biochemical parameters were measured. In male and female rats given wood shavings, serum ALT activity and malondialdehyde concentration increased whereas catalase activity decreased compared with levels in the wheat straw group. In contrast, ALT activity and malondialdehyde concentrations decreased but CAT activity increased in rats housed on rice straw compared with wheat straw. Serum AST and ALT activities increased in male and female mice exposed to rice straw, whereas the malondialdehyde concentration increased and catalase decreased in the wood shavings group relative to the wheat straw group. In mice exposed to wheat straw, AST and ALT activities and malondialdehyde concentrations decreased and CAT activity increased compared with the other groups. Because our results showed that exposure to wood shavings affects some biochemical parameters of rats and mice, we do not recommend its use as laboratory animal bedding. We consider that, of the materials tested, rice straw bedding is the best bedding material for rats, whereas wheat straw is best for mice.
