Abstract
Neonicotinoids and strobilurins are commonly used pesticides in agriculture, posing significant risks to aquatic animals. In this study, the toxic effects of thiacloprid and trifloxystrobin on Astacus leptodactylus were evaluated using various biomarkers, including acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total antioxidant content, total oxidant scavenging capacity, adenosine 5’-TriPhospahatases, fatty acid composition, and vitamin E level. Both pesticides significantly affected the biomarkers compared to the control, activating and inhibiting them. Exposure to the pesticides led to an increase in monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids and a significant decrease in polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The study’s findings suggest that thiacloprid and trifloxystrobin have harmful effects on A. leptodactylus through oxidative stress, detoxification, cholinergic, osmoregulation, and food quality systems. It is possible to conclude that these pesticides pose a major risk to public health as well as the aquatic ecology.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.
Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.
In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.
