Among personal care products, quaternium-15 is prominently featured as a preservative in items such shampoos, soaps, shaving and cosmetics. The widespread use of these products people's daily routines contributes to release into aquatic ecosystems. In this context, the primary aim study was assess physiological cellular responses digestive gland gills Mytilus galloprovincialis exposure. Cell viability ability cells regulate their volume were evaluated. Additionally, expression genes involved oxidative stress response assessed further substantiate compound's harmful effects. Results indicated significant decrease both RVD (regulatory decrease) capacity when exposed hypotonic solution. Furthermore, impairment cell function corroborated by modulation stress-related gene expression, including SOD, Cat, well Hsp70 CYP4Y1. Similar alterations observed gills, reflecting impaired functionality vital organ well. summary, outcomes provide conclusive evidence toxicity quaternium-15. This underscores urgent need investigate toxicological effects contaminant on ecosystems emphasises necessity limiting containing

Ethical principles and scientific advancements: In vitro, in silico, and non-vertebrate animal approaches for a green ecotoxicology

Green Analytical Chemistry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 8, С. 100096 - 100096

Опубликована: Янв. 13, 2024

The ethical considerations inherent in the use of living organisms research, particularly field ecotoxicology, have prompted a paradigm shift towards more sustainable methodologies. This perspective explores intersection principles and scientific advancements ecotoxicological emphasizing advocacy for non-vertebrate animals, vitro silico alternatives. In methods, which utilize isolated cells, tissues, or organs, approaches, involving computational simulations, present viable alternatives that align with Replacement, Reduction, Refinement (3Rs). Additionally, inclusion animals studies further expands scope considerations. reflects commitment to minimizing environmental impact while advancing understanding. integration these alternative methods not only addresses concerns but also contributes reduction animal testing, allowing precise control over experimental conditions. As technological capabilities validation efforts progress, combined advantages vitro, silico, approaches stand as instrumental components evolution research

The odd couple: Caffeine and microplastics. Morphological and physiological changes in Mytilus galloprovincialis

Microscopy Research and Technique, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 87(5), С. 1092 - 1110

Опубликована: Янв. 22, 2024

Abstract In recent years, the presence of pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems has raised concerns about their environmental impact. This study explores combined effects caffeine, a common pharmaceutical pollutant, MPs on marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis . Caffeine, at concentrations 20.0 μg L −1 , (1 mg 35–50 μm size range), was used to mimic real‐world exposure scenarios. Two hundred M. specimens were divided into four groups: MPs, Mix (caffeine + MPs), Control. After two‐week acclimation period, mollusks subjected these pollutants oxygen‐aerated aquariums under controlled conditions for 14 days. Histopathological assessments performed evaluate gill morphology. Cellular volume regulation digestive gland cell viability also analyzed. Exposure caffeine induced significant morphological changes gills, including cilia loss, ciliary disk damage, cellular alterations. The chitinous rod supporting filaments suffered potentially due MP interactions, leading hemocyte infiltration filament integrity compromise. Hemocytic aggregation suggested an inflammatory response caffeine. addition, cells revealed potential damage membranes function, with impaired regulation, particularly group, raising nutrient metabolism disruption organ function These findings underscore vulnerability emphasize need monitoring mitigation efforts. Research Highlights synergy warrants investigation. could affect morphology Caffeine‐exposed had lower than control group NR retention test. mix‐exposed struggled recover volume.

Understanding the sources, fate and effects of microplastics in aquatic environments with a focus on risk profiling in aquaculture systems

Reviews in Aquaculture, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(4), С. 1947 - 1980

Опубликована: Июнь 19, 2024

Abstract The upsurge in the usage of plastics on a global scale has led to widespread occurrence microplastics (MPs) aquatic environments. This review starts by outlining current scenario plastic production. It then delves into various sources and their entry systems, including impact fisheries aquaculture sector. detailed analysis methods degradation small sized, MPs followed transport, uptake trophic transference have been reviewed systematically. Besides, summarizes knowledge impacts MPs, additives associated contaminants organisms living environment, particularly fish thriving cultured conditions. effects alone association with other like heavy metals, organic pollutants leachates reveal serious such as cytotoxicity, immune response, oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, barrier attributes genotoxicity among species particularly, fish. In addition, present discusses invasion explores risk assessment both terms exposure toxicological risks biochemical nature, size, shape concentration MPs. management strategies future prospective control hazards also highlighted. summary, outlines sources, fate, environment highlighting need recognize pollution threat formulate prevention, reduce, reuse safe disposal material.
