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...

Serrano, Miguel A. S.; Gonzalez-Rey, Maria; Mattos, Jacó J.; Flores-Nunes, Fabrício; Mello, Álvaro C. P.; Zacchi, Flávia L.; Piazza, Clei E.Pharmaceuticals, such as anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs, are frequently detected in aquatic ecosystems. Studies about the effects of these substances in nontarget organisms, such as bivalves, are relevant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on antioxidant status caused by ibuprofen (IBU) in oysters Crassostrea gigas exposed for 1, 4, and 7 days at concentrations 1 and 100 μg L(-1). Levels o...
