Characterization of a fatty acid-binding protein from the Pacific oyster (Crass...
Tisca, Juliana F.; dos Santos, Karin; Pessati, Tomás B.; Zacchi, Flávia L.; Soares, Fabíola S.; Oliveira, Vanessa A.; Bebianno, Maria JoãoPharmaceuticals and their metabolites constitute a class of xenobiotics commonly found in aquatic environments which may cause toxic effects in aquatic organisms. Several different lipophilic molecules, including some pharmaceuticals, can bind to fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), a group of evolutionarily related cytoplasmic proteins that belong to the intracellular lipid-binding protein (iLBP) family. An oy...
Stress responses in Crassostrea gasar exposed to combined effects of acute pH c...
Lima, Daína; Mattos, Jacó J.; Piazza, Rômi S.; Righetti, Bárbara Pacheco Harrison; Monteiro, Jhonatas S.; Grott, Suelen Cristina; Alves, Thiago CaiqueOcean acidification is a result of the decrease in the pH of marine water, caused mainly by the increase in CO2 released in the atmosphere and its consequent dissolution in seawater. These changes can be dramatic for marine organisms especially for oysters Crassostrea gasar if other stressors such as xenobiotics are present. The effect of pH changes (6.5, 7.0 and 8.2) was assessed on the transcript levels of bi...
