酸雨对水生生物影响的研究 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
环境生物学家目前面临的任务之一是就酸雨对水体和水生生物的冲击作出预测。本文主要介绍酸雨分布最广、危害严重的地区,并对水生生物的影响作出分析。研究表明一个湖泊及其流域中和酸雨所进入的酸的容量,主要取决于汇水区基岩的组成。湖、河酸化所带来的最明显的生物学冲击是鱼类种群的消失或减少。而食物网中各个营养级的生物也可能受到影响。生物的数量和种类会减少,结果随着整个水生态系统的破坏,水体的初级生产力和分解作用受到伤害。 我们所进行的研究表明:鲢、餹、鲤对酸的相对敏感性是受精卵>鱼苗>鱼种;鲢鱼的96小时LC_(50)分别是pH5.34,4.51及3.80。酸雨对大型溞的急性毒性,24小时LC_(50)是pH4.06±0.19;48小时LC_(50)是pH4.94±0.20。椭园萝卜螺对酸的96小时累积死亡率分别是:pH3.6时100%,pH3.8时60%,pH4.0时20%以及pH4.2时10%。 作者对今后需要进行的研究课题提出了建议。 相似文献

目的:探讨不同急性低氧条件下对肠系膜微动脉血管反应性和抗氧化酶的影响。方法:实验采用给予大鼠吸入含氧量为12.5%和8.5%的氮氧混合气体,观察急性低氧后肠系膜微动脉血管口径、血流速度和血中谷光甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH—PX)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和活性氧(ROS)含量的变化。结果:肠系膜微动脉血管口径随急性低氧时间延长而逐渐增大,而血液流速却减慢(P〈0.01,P〈0.05);SOD、CAT和GSH—PX活力明显下降,ROS含量增加(P〈0.01,P〈0.05)。结论:急性低氧可使肠系膜微动脉管径变大和血液流速减慢;同时体内抗氧化酶活性减弱,这可能与自由基产生增加有关。 相似文献

抗生素类药物的发现和使用给人类提供了抗击细菌感染的强大武器。但是,抗生素长期使用导致的细菌耐药问题限制了其在临床上的应用。开发新型的基于纳米酶(Nano-Enzyme)的新型抗菌剂为解决上述问题提供了新思路。将纳米酶可以归为两大类:一类是酶和纳米材料的复合材料;另一类是纳米材料本身具有类酶活性。因为银(Ag)纳米粒子是历史最悠久且研究最广泛的纳米抗菌剂,而且其抗菌机制多样化,因此将Ag纳米粒子的抗菌机制和最新进展单独论述。纳米抗菌剂可以组合多种抗菌机制协同抗菌,从而提高其抗菌性能。因此,在这篇综述中系统介绍了Ag纳米粒子和上述2种类型纳米抗菌剂的最新研究进展和抗菌机制,重点介绍了纳米材料的物理性质对抗菌活性和生物安全性的影响。最后,该综述还强调了该领域目前面临的问题和挑战,并对该领域的发展前景进行了展望。 相似文献

Phototoxicity is a two to greater than 1000-fold increase in chemical toxicity caused by ultraviolet radiation (UV), which has been demonstrated in a broad range of marine and freshwater fish, invertebrates, and other aquatic organisms in water column exposures. Field collected sediments containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other contaminants are phototoxic to sediment-dwelling organisms in laboratory tests, but in situ or field investigations of phototoxicity have not been reported. Sediment provides a pathway for the bioaccumulation of phototoxic chemicals through contact with and ingestion of bedded and suspended sediment, and maternal transfer, but risks are uncertain. Risks from sediment-associated phototoxicity will be greatest in areas of both high contaminant exposure (e.g., surficial and suspended sediments in harbors, outfall areas, and spill sites), and high UV exposure (e.g., high optical clarity or shallow depths). Organisms and life-stages most at risk will be those translucent to UV that inhabit the photic zone and near shore areas, but benthic organisms may have generally low UV exposure because of life history and morphological characteristics. Site-specific assessments are needed to characterize risks both spatially and temporally because of heterogeneous sediment contamination and large differences in species sensitivity and exposure pathways. 相似文献

Injection of large doses of ammonium salts lead to the rapid death of animals. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in ammonia toxicity remain to be clarified. We have tested the effect of injecting 7 mmol/kg of ammonium acetate on the production of superoxide and on the activities of some antioxidant enzymes in rat liver, brain, erythrocytes and plasma. Glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were decreased in liver and brain (both in cytoso-lic and mitochondrial fractions) and also in blood red cells, while glutathione reductase activity remained unchanged. Superoxide production in submitochon-drial particles from liver and brain was increased by more than 100% in both tissues. Both diminished activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased superoxide radical production could lead to oxidative stress and cell damage, which could be involved in the mechanism of acute ammonia toxicity. 相似文献

Free radicals are by-products of metabolism and exist in a homeostasis between generation and scavenging in vivo. Excessive free radicals cause various diseases, including nervous system diseases. Neuroglobin (Ngb), a nervous system-specific oxygen-binding protein, has been suggested to be a potential free radical scavenger in the nervous system in vivo; however, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant potential and free radical scavenging properties of recombinant human Ngb (rhNgb) in vitro. Interestingly, we found that the rhNgb protein itself has a direct and distinct antioxidant capacity and can efficiently scavenge a variety of free radicals, including the [2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] (ABTS) cation, superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical. The capacity of rhNgb to scavenge the superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide was even comparable to that of vitamin C. In addition, rhNgb had Fe(2+) chelating activity but hemoglobin did not. In conclusion, our results indicated that the rhNgb protein itself has antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities, providing fundamental evidence for the neuroprotective function of Ngb. These data provide key information for the origin of the neuroprotective and physiological role of Ngb and will promote the treatment of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related diseases using this novel oxygen-binding globin. 相似文献

Our previous investigation reported the beneficial effect of pre-sowing magnetic treatment for improving germination parameters and biomass accumulation in soybean. In this study, soybean seeds treated with static magnetic fields of 150 and 200 mT for 1 h were evaluated for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activity of antioxidant enzymes. Superoxide and hydroxyl radicals were measured in embryos and hypocotyls of germinating seeds by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and kinetics of superoxide production; hydrogen peroxide and antioxidant activities were estimated spectrophotometrically. Magnetic field treatment resulted in enhanced production of ROS mediated by cell wall peroxidase while ascorbic acid content, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activity decreased in the hypocotyl of germinating seeds. An increase in the cytosolic peroxidase activity indicated that this antioxidant enzyme had a vital role in scavenging the increased H(2)O(2) produced in seedlings from the magnetically treated seeds. Hence, these studies contribute to our first report on the biochemical basis of enhanced germination and seedling growth in magnetically treated seeds of soybean in relation to increased production of ROS. 相似文献

The toxicity of the antineoplastic agent doxorubicin (DOX) has been shown to be moderated by the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It has been reported that acute doses of DOX can cause an inhibition of glutathione peroxidase in cardiac tissue, that may render this tissue especially susceptible to further prooxidant damage. In this study, multiple DOX treatments at a therapeutic dose were assessed for their effect on the antioxidant enzyme status of cardiac and kidney tissue. DOX was administered i.p. (5 mg/kg) once a week for two weeks to male balb/c mice. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPOX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were measured 1, 2 and 7 days following the second DOX treatment in both heart and kidney. Levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) were also measured in cardiac tissue at these same times. Cardiac levels of GPOX and GR showed a time-dependent decrease in activity, with 10% and 12% inhibition for GPOX and GR, respectively, at 7 days post second treatment. Cardiac levels of GSH also showed a significant decrease, approximately 15%, at 7 days post second treatment. Cardiac levels of SOD and CAT as well as kidney levels of all four antioxidant enzymes were not affected by DOX treatment. These data suggest that DOX given in a therapeutic regimen, at a therapeutic dose, can cause decreases in cardiac levels of GPOX, GR and GSH that could render the heart especially susceptible to further oxidative challenge. 相似文献

Content of reactive oxygen species (ROS): O2*-, H2O2 and OH* as well as activities of antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT) were studied in leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia, treated with Cu excess (0, 5, 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 300 microM). After 7 days of Cu action ROS content and the activity of SOD and POX increased, while CAT activity decreased in comparison with control. Activities of SOD, POX and CAT were correlated both with Cu concentration (0-75 microM) in the growth medium and with OH* content in leaves. Close correlation was also found between OH* content and Cu concentration. Oxidative stress in A. thaliana under Cu treatment expressed in elevated content of O2*-, H2O2 and OH* in leaves. To overcome it very active the dismutase- and peroxidase-related (and not catalase-related, as in other plants) ROS scavenging system operated in A. thaliana. Visual symptoms of phytotoxicity: chlorosis, necrosis and violet colouring of leaves as well as a reduction of shoot biomass occurred in plants. 相似文献

环境污染物对水生生物产生氧化压力的分子生物标志物 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
为了能够建立一种简单、快速、准确的环境污染监测预警体系,人们进行了广泛的研究,其中有关环境污染物对分子生物标志物的影响已成为研究热点。生物体内的氧自由基和其它活性氧分子(ROS)对组织和细胞成分造成的伤害,称之为氧化压力,环境中的有毒物质能够对生物体产生不同程度的氧化压力。生物体内的强氧化剂或体外因素(如环境污染物)引起的强氧化物与抗氧化防御系统之间的平衡能够用于评估环境压力对生物体产生影响的程度,尤其适合于评估不同种化学物质引起氧化损伤的程度。这些抗氧化防御系统及其对氧化压力的敏感性在环境毒物学研究中占有非常重要的地位,大量研究结果表明:过渡金属、多环芳烃、有机氯和有机磷农药、多氯联苯、二氧芑和其它异型物质都能够对生物体产生氧化压力。这些有毒物质能够引起各种有害影响,如对膜脂、DNA和蛋白产生损伤;改变抗氧化酶的活性等。总结了这种氧化压力的研究进展情况,并讨论了这些分子生物标志物在水生生物中的应用。 相似文献

以4年生南方红豆杉幼苗为实验材料,通过对南方红豆杉幼苗喷施不同浓度外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠溶液(0、0.01、0.1、0.5和1 mmol·L-1SNP),测定光合色素含量、抗氧化酶活性、丙二醛(MDA)含量和过氧化氢(H2O2)含量等生理指标,以探讨不同浓度外源NO对南方红豆杉叶片光合色素和抗氧化酶的影响。结果表明:喷施低浓度(0.01、0.1 mmol·L-1)SNP可显著提高南方红豆杉叶片的叶绿素a、叶绿素b、类胡萝卜素和总叶绿素含量,增加叶绿素a/b的比值,而喷施高浓度(0.5、1 mmol·L-1)SNP降低了叶片的光合色素含量。随着外源NO供体浓度的增加,叶片过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性显著增加,过氧化物酶(POD)活性先增加后降低。此外,处理前期,低浓度SNP处理明显提高了抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性,而高浓度SNP处理显著降低了APX活性,处理后期APX活性随SNP浓度的增加而显著下降。喷施低浓度SNP可有效提高超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和增加可溶性蛋白含量,降低MDA和H2O2的含量,而喷施高浓度SNP显著增加了MDA和H2O2的含量。因此,低浓度的SNP(<0.5 mmol·L-1)处理南方红豆杉幼苗,可增加其叶绿素含量,提高抗氧化酶活性,降低MDA和H2O2的含量,而高浓度的SNP(≥0.5 mmol·L-1)处理会降低叶绿素含量,提高H2O2含量,增加细胞膜质过氧化程度,从而对南方红豆杉幼苗造成一定伤害。 相似文献
