The aquatic environment is generally affected by the presence of environmental xenobiotic
compounds. One of the major xenobiotic detoxifying enzymes is glutathione S-transferase …

Various xenobiotics are constantly being released and accumulated into the aquatic
environments and consequently, the aquatic organisms are continuously being exposed to …

Manganese containing superoxide dismutase (SOD) is normally a nuclear-encoded
mitochondrial enzyme in eukaryotic organisms; however, a cytoplasmic manganese SOD …

We first expressed a Mu-class GST from white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Escherichia
coli, and then characterized the purified recombinant enzyme with respect to the effects of …

In the present study, transcriptome of nitrite-exposed Litopenaeus vannamei was performed
using a newly developed high-throughput sequencing technology (Illumina RNA-seq). As …

Two marine invertebrates, the crab Carcinus maenas and the clam Ruditapes philippinarum,
were used as bioindicator species to assess contamination when exposed in situ to …

MC-LR is one of major microcystin isoforms with potent hepatotoxicity. In the present study,
we aim to: 1) explore the dynamics of MC-LR accumulation and elimination in different …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) are essential
components of cellular detoxification systems that defend cells against reactive oxygen …

Microcystin (MC) produced during cyanobacteria blooms is notably toxic to human and
wildlife. Conjugation with reduced glutathione (GSH) by glutathione S-transferase (GST) and …

Intermolt crab Carcinus maenas and clam Ruditapes philippinarum were used to determine
the toxicity of sediments collected in four Spanish ports (Cádiz, Huelva, Pasajes, and Bilbao) …
