Fractionated semen collection as a diagnostic tool for reproductive pathologies in stallions
(2021-01-01)
The alterations found in the ejaculate of stallions, obtained through fractionated semen collection, may be used as a diagnostic tool for identifying the origin of the pathology. The occurrence of seminal vesiculitis, ...
Morphological abnormalities in natural populations of the common South American toad Rhinella arenarum inhabiting fluoride-rich environments
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-08)
Morphological abnormalities in amphibians may be attributed to contaminants, ultraviolet radiation and trematode parasites, or a synergistic effect between them. In the present study, morphological abnormalities in Rhinella ...
Comparative study of phytotoxicity and genotoxicity of soil contaminated with biodiesel, diesel fuel and petroleum
(2019-05-15)
The worldwide spillage of fossil fuels causes an ever-increasing environmental concern due to their resistance to biodegradation and toxicity. The diesel fuel is one of the derivative forms of petroleum that is widely used ...
Common snook juveniles, Centropomus undecimalis, as biomonitor organisms to evaluate cytogenotoxicity effects of surface estuarine water from Southern Brazil
(2019-12-01)
Centropomus undecimalis fish inhabit the highly contaminated Santos-São Vicente Estuarine System (SESS) and could be a good biomonitor of contaminants. This study aimed to investigate the cytogenotoxic potential of superficial ...
Environmental Genotoxicity Assessment Using Micronucleus (and Nuclear Abnormalities) Test on Intertidal Mussel Perumytilus purpuratus: A Tool for Biomonitoring the Chilean Coast
(2021-01-01)
The release of pollutants is increasing along the coast of Chile, and the use of biomarkers in biomonitoring programs is essential to assess the early biological effects of marine contamination. The Micronucleus (MN) test ...
Hematological parameters and nuclear abnormalities in peripheral erythrocytes of Achirus lineatus (Pleuronectiformes: Achiridae)
(2014-01-01)
Hematological parameter of demersal fish constitutes important measures of biological effects of seasonality and contaminants in sediments. We aimed to assess the hematological parameters and nuclear abnormalities, including ...
Genotoxic effects of 4-nonylphenol and Cyproterone Acetate on Rana catesbeiana (anura)tadpoles and juveniles
(2019-08-01)
Genotoxic analyses are commonly used in ecotoxicological studies as early biomarkers to investigate the potential effects of environmental contaminants on biological models. Several pollutants can induce DNA damage and, ...
Cytogenotoxicity biomarkers in fat snook Centropomus parallelus from Cananeia and Sao Vicente estuaries, SP, Brazil
(Soc Brasil Genetica, 2009-01-01)
The aquatic environment receives many contaminants that can induce damages at the molecular, biochemical, cellular and physiological levels. Centropomus parallelus, an important food resource for local populations, is a ...
