Toxic effects of polyethylene microplastics on transcriptional changes, biochemical response, and oxidative stress in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Protective Effects of Curcumin and/or Ginger Supplementation against Oreochromis niloticus Oxidative Stress Induced by Ultraviolet-A Radiation

“…Our findings showed that fish exposed to UVR had lower levels of total antioxidant capacity. African catfish C. gariepinus (Sayed et al, 2021) and C. carpio (Banaei et al, 2022) exposed to MPs both showed a significant decrease in total antioxidants. On toxicity of chlorpyrifos, common carp (C. carpio) showed the similar decrease in total antioxidants (Banaee et al, 2022).…”

Creatine Kinase Activity as an Indicator of Energetic Impairment and Tissue Damage in Fish: A Review

“…Exposure to polyethylene microplastic Plasma Increase in CK activity [19] Labeo rohita Exposure to decabromodiphenyl ether Serum Increase in CK activity [20] Danio rerio Exposure to copper oxide nanoparticles Serum Increase in CK activity [21] Oncorhynchus mykiss Exposure to cypermethrin Serum Increase in CK and CK-MB activities [22] Oncorhynchus mykiss Bacterial infection (Flavobacterium psychrophilum) Serum Increase in CK activity [23] Oncorhynchus nerka Exposure to bitumen Serum Increase in CK activity [24] Scophthalmus maximus Thermal stress Plasma Increase in CK activity [25] Oreochromis niloticus Water pollution Serum Increase in CK activity [26] 2.1. Creatine Kinase as an Indicator of the Negative Effects on Energetic Homeostasis in Fish during Bacterial, Fungal, and Parasitical Infections Bacterial, fungal, and parasitical diseases are recognized as the main impediments of aquaculture development, causing severe economic impairments to fish farming and contributing to the development of antimicrobial resistance and environmental contamination due to the excessive use of drugs to combat these infections [27,28].…”

“…Plasma and serum CK activity is extensively used as an indicator of damage during the investigation of aquatic contaminants, such as pesticides, microplastic, and metals [19,20]. Recently, a study conducted by Banaei et al [19] investigated the possible toxic effects of different concentrations of polyethylene microplastics (175, 350, 700, and 1400 µg/L) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and used CK activity as an indicator of damage.…”

According to these authors, the highest plasma CK activity was detected in the fish exposed to 1400 µg/L, with this increase being attributed to lesions in the muscles and kidney of fish, as CK is released into the bloodstream when the cells are damaged.…”

Presence, Variation, and Potential Ecological Impact of Microplastics in the Largest Shallow Lake of Central Europe

“…Moreover, it has been shown that MPs alone can induce toxic effects on aquatic invertebrate species including cnidarians (Beraud et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2022b;Lim et al, 2022;Marangoni et al, 2022), mollusks (Detree and Gallardo-Escarate, 2018;Green et al, 2019;Magni et al, 2019;Pedersen et al, 2020;Uguen et al, 2022;Weber et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2022), cladocerans (Chenxi et al, 2022;Eltemsah and Bohn, 2019;Kokalj et al, 2018;Mondellini et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2022b;Wang et al, 2022c;Zebrowski et al, 2022), and echinoderms (Martinez-Gomez et al, 2017;Murano et al, 2020;Ng et al, 2022;Nobre et al, 2015;Rendell-Bhatti et al, 2021;Richardson et al, 2021;Trifuoggi et al, 2019). Also, fish species have been shown to be sensitive to the single effects of MPs (Banaei et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2020;Cormier et al, 2022;Felix et al, 2023;Jabeen et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2022;LeMoine et al, 2018;Rabezanahary et al, 2023;Yu et al, 2022a;Zhang et al, 2022). Besides, given their high surface hydrophobicity, MPs have a very high sorption capacity for hydrophobic pollutants (e.g., different pharmacologically active compounds [PhACs] or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons); hence they ca...…”
