Wildfires constitute a source of contamination to both freshwater and marine ecosystems. This study aimed compare the antioxidant defense response clam Corbicula fluminea cockle (Cerastoderma edule) wildfire ash exposure concomitant metal body burden. Organisms were exposed different concentrations (0%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%) aqueous extracts Eucalypt (AEAs) from moderate-to-high severity wildfire. The activity various enzymes, as well lipid peroxidation, protein content, burden, determined...
UV filters are potentially harmful to marine organisms. Given their worldwide dissemination and the scarcity of studies on fish, we evaluated toxicity an organic (oxybenzone) inorganic (titanium dioxide nanoparticles) filter, individually in a binary mixture, turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). Fish were intraperitoneally injected multi-level assessment was carried out 3 7 days later. Oxybenzone titanium nanoparticles induced mild effects turbot, both isolated mixture. Neither oxidative stress...
We aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence identify predictors patient-physician discordance. Baseline data from two prospective multicentre observational studies. 29 allergy, pulmonology paediatric secondary care outpatient clinics in Portugal. 395 patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma. Data on demographics, relationship, upper airway control, asthma treatment, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) healthcare use were collected....
The identification of novel feed materials as a source functional ingredients is topical priority in the finfish aquaculture sector. Due to agrotechnical practices associated and phytochemical profiling, halophytes emerge new feedstuff for aquafeeds, with potential boost productivity environmental sustainability. Therefore, present study aimed assess Salicornia ramosissima incorporation (2.5, 5, 10%), 2 months, diet juvenile European seabass, seeking antioxidant (in liver, gills, blood)...
The red seaweeds Porphyra umbilicalis and Grateloupia turuturu are often used for human consumption. Nevertheless, there knowledge gaps in studies focusing on their potential genoprotection vivo assessing effects of whole algae intake. Thus, P. G. were evaluated as genome integrity- longevity-promoters, using a somatic mutation recombination test (SMART) longevity assay, respectively, Drosophila melanogaster. For the alga supplementation (1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 20% (w/w)) occurred until eclosion...
The saltmarsh plant Halimione portulacoides was shortly exposed to realistic levels of inorganic mercury (iHg), aiming investigate adaptative processes the roots and leaves regarding re-dox homeostasis, physiology, Hg accumulation. Plants were collected at a contaminated (CONT) reference (REF) site, addressing interference contamination background. influence major abiotic variables (i.e., temperature light) also examined. Total lev-els, antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation (LPO),...
The functional characterization of marine macroalgae toward their potential to strength genome protection is still scarce. Hence, the aim this study was assess antigenotoxic Ulva rigida, Fucus vesiculosus, and Gracilaria species in Drosophila melanogaster following dietary exposure adopting somatic mutation recombination test (SMART). All displayed a genoprotection activity, namely against an exogenous challenge (streptonigrin). action subtler endogenous pressures also noted indicating that...
The present study aimed to evaluate the reprotoxicity of environmental (0.25 μg.L-1) and supra-environmental (25 μg.L-1 250 levels silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) on Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas), by determining sperm quality. For that, we evaluated motility, mitochondrial function oxidative stress. To determine whether Ag toxicity was related NP or its dissociation into ions (Ag+), tested same concentrations Ag+. We observed no dose-dependent responses for Ag+, both impaired motility...
