The response to stress triggers activation of the genes involved in cell survival and/or cell
death. Stress response is a ubiquitous feature of cells that is induced under stress …

Despite decades of intensive investigation, important questions remain regarding the
functional, ecological, and evolutionary roles of heat shock proteins. In this paper, we …

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a family of proteins expressed in response to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stressors. They are thus also referred to as stress proteins. Their …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

Despite increasing application of silver nanoparticles (NPs) in industry and consumer
products, there is still little known about their potential toxicity, particularly to organisms in …

In response to most stressors, fish will elicit a generalized physiological stress response,
which involves the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis (HPI). As in other …

Numerous studies have indicated that stress proteins have potential as biomarkers of
exposure to environmental contaminants. Analysis of stress proteins in animals, especially …

The present study examines the deleterious effect of biologically synthesized silver
nanoparticles in adult zebrafish. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) used in the study were …

This paper briefly reviews the nomenclature and application of stress proteins as
biomarkers, then gives a step by step description of the popular methodologies used to …

The vast number of potentially hazardous chemicals and the complex interactions that can
occur between them in environmental mixtures, call for inexpensive, early and sensitive …
