Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in amphibians and reptiles - exposure and health effects
Aquat Toxicol. 2024 Mar 31;270:106907. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPoly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are commonly used in various industries and everyday products, including clothing, electronics, furniture, paints, and many others. PFASs are primarily found in aquatic environments, but also present in soil, air and plants, making them one of the most important and dangerous pollutants of the natural environment. PFASs bioaccumulate in living organisms and are especially dangerous to aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. As endocrine disruptors, PFASs affect many internal organs ...

Assessing the in vivo toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in Schmidtea mediterranea: uptake pathways and (neuro)developmental outcomes
Aquat Toxicol. 2024 Mar 17;270:106895. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTitanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) in aquatic environments, originating from urban run-off, product use and post-consumer degradation, interact with aquatic organisms through water and sediments. Thorough toxicity assessment requires comprehensive data across all ecosystem compartments especially the benthic zone, which is currently lacking. Moreover, a proper physicochemical characterization of the particles is needed before and during toxicity assessment. In the present work, we used the planarian Schmidtea med...

Zebrafish: A trending model for gut-brain axis investigation
Aquat Toxicol. 2024 Mar 17;270:106902. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106902. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTZebrafish (Danio rerio) has ascended as a pivotal model organism in the realm of gut-brain axis research, principally owing to its high-throughput experimental capabilities and evolutionary alignment with mammals. The inherent transparency of zebrafish embryos facilitates unprecedented real-time imaging, affording unparalleled insights into the intricate dynamics of bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. Noteworthy are the structural and functional parallels shared between the zebrafish and mammalian...

Combined effects of pentachlorophenol and nano-TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > with different sizes on antioxidant, digestive, and immune responses of the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus
This study investigated the combined effects of continuous exposure to nano-TiO2 (25 nm, 100 nm) and PCP (0, 1, 10 μg/L) for 28 days on the antioxidant, digestive, and immune abilities of the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus. Compared with the control group, the interaction between nano-TiO2 and PCP was significantly higher than exposure to a single stressor, with a pronounced decrease in amylase activity observed due to the reducing nano-TiO2 particle sizes. Resulting in increased MDA and SOD activity. The expression levels of Toll4, CSP3, and SER genes in crab hemolymph showed perturbations following exposure to n...
