In the modern society, plastic has achieved a crucial status in myriad of applications because its favourable properties. Despite societal benefits, become growing global concern due to it is persistence and bioavailability as microplastics (MPs) aquatic biota. order provide mechanistic insights into early toxicity effects MPs on invertebrates, short-term (up 72 h) exposure 3 µm red polystyrene (50 particles/mL) was conducted marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, selected model organism...
Due to ingestion of contaminated foods, the human gastrointestinal tract is most likely site exposure microplastics (MPs) with gut barrier dysfunction and intestinal inflammation. Aimed assess effects induced by MPs different granulometry (polystyrene (PS) 3 10 µm), we performed an in vitro study using cell line HT29. As a novelty, assessed sub-chronic extending treatment up 48 days simulating vivo situation. In range 100–1600 particles mL−1, both PS suspensions had moderate cytotoxicity...
Plastic is undoubtedly the most useful and versatile polymeric material that man has developed in last two centuries Despite societal benefits, plastic now a serious global issue because it persistent may bioaccumulate into aquatic biota as microplastics (MPs). This study was designed to evaluate daily uptake cellular effects due short-term (up 72 h) exposure 3 μm red polystyrene MPs (50 beads/mL) gills of Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, chosen model species for its...
The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, has been recognized as one of the most promising insect species for its ability to valorize organic waste while producing a valuable larval biomass with great potential sustainable source nutrients, including proteins and bioactive molecules. In present study, BSF larvae were used produce characterize protein hydrolysates (BPHs) that then evaluated their biological activity in vitro. BPHs obtained from by enzymatic digestion characterized...

Mercury (Hg) is a dangerous and persistent trace element. Its organic highly toxic form, methylmercury (MeHg), easily crosses biological membranes accumulates in biota. Nevertheless, understanding the mechanisms of dietary MeHg toxicity fish remains challenge. A time-course experiment was conducted with juvenile white seabreams, Diplodus sargus (Linnaeus, 1758), exposed to realistic levels feed (8.7 μg g-1, dry weight), comprising exposure (E; 7 14 days) post-exposure (PE; 28 periods. Total...
Different types of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are being used for wastewater treatment worldwide but concerns have been raised regarding their potential toxicities, especially toward non-targeted aquatic organisms including fishes. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate toxicity copper (CuO) NPs (1.5 mg/L; positive control group) in a total 130 common carp (Cyprinus carpio), as well ameliorative effects fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed extracts (100 mg/L G-1 group, 125...
Caffeine (CAF) and salicylic acid (SA) are frequently detected in waterbody, though information on their biological impact is poor. This work assesses the effects of CAF (5 ng/L to 10 µg/L) SA (0.05 µg/L 100 alone combined as CAF+SA ng/L+0.05 µg/L+100 mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis under 12-days exposure by histomorphology digestive gland oxidative stress defense at molecular biochemical levels. Besides evaluating tissue accumulation, absence histomorphological damage haemocyte...
