Microplastics (MPs) represent a current public health concern since toxicity has not yet fully investigated. They were found in several foods, but to the best of our knowledge, at this time no data was reported for edible vegetables and fruits. We focused on diet exposure aiming evaluate number size (<10 μm) MPs most commonly consumed fruits, relation their recommended daily intake too. extraction analysis carried out using an innovative Italian methodology SEM-EDX, respectively. Finally, we...
Seasonal environmental changes may affect the physiology of Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lam.), an intertidal filter-feeder bivalve occurring commonly in Mediterranean and Atlantic coastal areas. We investigated seasonal variations relative transcript abundance digestive gland mantle (gonads) males females. To identify gene expression trends – terms mRNA abundance- we used a medium-density cDNA microarray (1.7 K probes) dual-color competitive hybridization analyses. Hierarchical clustering...
Global warming is a major factor that may affect biological organization, especially in marine ecosystems and coastal areas are particularly subject to anthropogenic pollution. We evaluated the effects of simultaneous changes temperature copper concentrations on lysosomal membrane stability (N-acetyl-hexosaminidase activity) malondialdehyde accumulation (MDA) gill blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lam.). Temperature exerted additive stability, exacerbating toxic metal cations present...
Mixtures of chemicals present in aquatic environments may elicit toxicity due to additive or synergistic effects among the constituents or, vice versa, adverse outcome be reduced by antagonistic interactions. Deviations from additivity should explained either perturbations toxicokinetic parameters and/or chemical toxicodynamics. We addressed this important question marine mussels exposed subchronically a binary mixture made two wide-spread pollutants: heavy metal nickel and organic...
