Oxidative stress responses and histological hepatic alterations in barbel, Barb...
Peixoto, Francisco P.; Carrola, João; Coimbra, Ana Maria; Fernandes, Conceição; Teixeira, Paulo; Coelho, Luís; Conceição, Ivo; Oliveira, Maria ManuelBarbel (Barbus bocagei) a common species in Portuguese rivers was studied to assess the impact of water contamination on hepatic oxidative stress response, lipid peroxidation and histology. The Vizela River is a tributary of the Ave River, located in one of the most industrialized areas of Portugal. The oxidative stress biomarkers analyzed included superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S-transferase, glut...
Biochemical blood parameters: are they effective biomarkers of chronic toxicity?
Fernandes, Conceição; Fontaínhas-Fernandes, A.; Coimbra, Ana Maria; Saavedra, Maria José; Salgado, Maria AntóniaThe use of biomarkers has become attractive and useful for monitoring environmental quality and health of fish inhabiting polluted ecosystems. Among them, plasmatic biochemical parameters could be a promissory indicator of fish health condition. The question that comes up is if plasmatic biochemical levels could be a tool in a long-term evaluation of the fish stress responses.

Fernandes, Conceição; Fontaínhas-Fernandes, A.; Coimbra, Ana Maria; Saavedra, Maria José; Salgado, Maria AntóniaThe use of biomarkers has become attractive and useful for monitoring environmental quality and health of fish inhabiting polluted ecosystems. Among them, plasmatic biochemical parameters could be a promissory indicator of fish health condition. The question that arises is if these parameters can be applied to chronic toxicity. In this study we investigated the use of plasmatic biochemical parameters as indicat...
