The two main objectives of this study were to compare cadmium and zinc fluxes from a contaminated sediment to the water column in bioturbated and unbioturbated systems and jointly to analyze accumulation kinetics of these released metals by benthic filter-feeder bivalves. The experimental approach was based on indoor microcosms containing a two-compartment biotope: natural contaminated sediment (45 +/- 5 microg Cd/g, dry wt, and 1,938 +/- 56 microg Zn/g, dry wt) and water column. Four experimental conditions were studied: no organism added to the sediment-water biotope, presence of bivalves Corbicula fluminea, presence of Hexagenia rigida nymphs (bioturbation source), and presence of C. fluminea and H. rigida simultaneously. Results reveal that bioturbation produces a significant metal release into the water column via the resuspended sediment particles. The use of C. fluminea as an indicator of transferred metals in the water column shows that the metal bioavailability is very limited, quantities of cadmium and zinc bioaccumulated in the soft bodies being less than those measured in unbioturbated systems. This experimental study demonstrates that only the dissolved fraction resulting from diffusive metal fluxes across the sediment-water interface is bioavailable for this bivalve species.  相似文献

In artificial streams (pilot rivers) supplied with the river water of Gave de Pau (France), we studied the effects of methyl methacrylate (MMA) on the autochthonous bivalve Unio tumidus transferred into the streams and on natural freshwater communities colonizing the channels. Unio tumidus and freshwater communities were exposed to MMA for 15 and 30 d, respectively, at measured concentrations ranging from 0.6 to 122 mg/L. Biomarkers studied in the digestive gland and gills of U. tumidus comprised detoxication systems (namely, antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione status) and lipid peroxidation as a marker of cytotoxicity. Biocoenotic indicators were used to evaluate effects on benthic invertebrates and diatoms. In bivalves, a decrease in antioxidant levels was found at the lowest concentrations tested (0.6 and 6 mg/L), whereas an increase in lipid peroxidation and mortality was registered at 30 mg/L after 15 d of exposure. Disturbances in freshwater communities occurred after 30 d at MMA concentrations of greater than 30 mg/L. Antioxidant responses in bivalves were recorded at the lowest MMA concentration tested, which was close to the predicted no-effect concentration (0.74 mg/L), and cytotoxicity was registered at a concentration corresponding to the 21-d no-observed-effect concentration for Daphnia magna. On the basis of the criteria studied, antioxidant biomarkers of bivalves appeared to be more sensitive than biocoenotic indicators to MMA.  相似文献

A bioassay for zinc status in humans has been sought due to the importance of zinc, an essential trace metal, for many divergent functions in the human body; however, a sensitive bioassay for zinc status in humans is lacking. To address this issue, we established gene expression profiles of human lymphoblastoid cells treated with 0 or 30 micro mol/L ZnSO(4) using microarray technology. A limited number of genes were responsive to 30 micro mol/L zinc based on the analysis of Affymetrix human genome U133A GeneChips. We also examined the gene expression patterns of zinc transporters in human lymphoblastoid cells using quantitative RT-PCR analysis. ZNT1 was upregulated in lymphoblastoid cells, whereas ZIP1 was downregulated in response to the increased zinc concentrations in the culture media. To evaluate the potential applications of using both zinc transporter genes as biomarkers of zinc status, we measured the expression levels of ZIP1 and ZNT1 in the peripheral leukocytes collected from 2 different age groups of Korean women. After administration of a zinc supplement (22 mg zinc gluconate/d for 27 d), ZIP1 expression decreased by 17% (P < 0.01) and 21% (P < 0.05) in the peripheral leukocytes collected from 15 young (20-25 y) and 10 elderly (64-75 y) subjects, respectively. ZNT1 expression was not affected by taking the zinc supplement. These data suggest a potential application of ZIP1 as a biomarker of zinc status in humans.  相似文献

The effects of bioturbation by tubificids on cadmium (Cd) remobilization and bioavailability from sediment were studied throughout two experiments. With bioturbation, particulate Cd was transitorily released into the overlying water, in correlation with sediment resuspension (maximum of 6.1+/-0.1 microg L(-1) after 6 days). Cd bioaccumulation by the bivalve Corbicula fluminea was very limited (maximum of 1.73+/-0.34 microg g(-1), dw), and independent of the algae diet. In contrast, without bioturbation, the release of dissolved Cd increased with the duration of the experiments (maximum of 9.9+/-0.8 microg L(-1) after 36 days). Cd bioaccumulation by C. fluminea varied according to their diet: low bioaccumulation when no algae were added (2.18+/-0.29 microg g(-1), dw), higher bioaccumulation when algae were added throughout the experiment (8.52+/-1.61 microg g(-1), dw), and the highest bioaccumulation when algae were added only during the last 10 days of the experiment (19.66+/-4.63 microg g(-1), dw).  相似文献

Reproductive toxicity of low-level lead exposure in men   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Parameters of semen quality, seminal plasma indicators of secretory function of the prostate and seminal vesicles, sex hormones in serum, and biomarkers of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, and selenium body burden were measured in 240 Croatian men 19-52 years of age. The subjects had no occupational exposure to metals and no known other reasons suspected of influencing male reproductive function or metal metabolism. After adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol, blood cadmium, and serum copper, zinc, and selenium by multiple regression, significant (P<0.05) associations of blood lead (BPb), delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), and/or erythrocyte protoporphyrin (EP) with reproductive parameters indicated a lead-related increase in immature sperm concentration, in percentages of pathologic sperm, wide sperm, round sperm, and short sperm, in serum levels of testosterone and estradiol, and a decrease in seminal plasma zinc and in serum prolactin. These reproductive effects were observed at low-level lead exposure (BPb median 49 microg/L, range 11-149 microg/L in the 240 subjects) common for general populations worldwide. The observed significant synergistic effect of BPb and blood cadmium on increasing serum testosterone, and additive effect of a decrease in serum selenium on increasing serum testosterone, may have implications on the initiation and development of prostate cancer because testosterone augments the progress of prostate cancer in its early stages.  相似文献

The objective of the present study was to monitor water-quality assessment by a biological method. Optimum dissolved inorganic mercury sensitivity in the freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea was estimated using a combined approach to determine their potentials and limits in detecting contaminants. Detection by bivalves is based on shell closure, a protective strategy when exposed to a water contaminant. To take the rate of spontaneous closures into account, stress associated with fixation by one valve in common valvometers was integrated, and the spontaneous rhythm was associated with daily activity. The response in conditions where the probability of spontaneous closing is the lowest was thus taken into account. To develop dose-response curves, impedance valvometry, in which lightweight impedance electrodes are applied to study free-ranging animals in low-stress conditions, also was used combined with a new analytical approach. The logistic regression dose-response curves take into account variations in both response time and metal concentration in water to significantly improve the methods aiming at determining the optimal sensitivity threshold response. This approach demonstrates that in C. fluminea, inorganic mercury concentrations under the range of 2.0 to 5.1 microg/L (95% confidence interval) cannot be detected within 5 h of addition.  相似文献

Selenium uptake from food (assimilation efficiency) and dissolved phase (influx rate) as well as loss kinetics (efflux rate) were compared between two bivalves, Corbicula fluminea and Potamocorbula amurensis. The effects of salinity and temperature on these kinetic parameters for both clam species also were evaluated. The Asiatic clam, C. fluminea, more efficiently assimilated Se associated with algae (66-87%) than Se associated with oxic sediments (20-37%). However, no consistent difference was found between Se assimilation efficiencies from both food types (19-60%) for P. amurensis. The temperature and salinity had a minor influence on the Se assimilation from ingested food. However, the effects of temperature and salinity were more evident in the uptake from dissolved sources. The influx rate of Se(IV) increased by threefold with the increase of temperature from 5 to 21 degrees C for C. fluminea. The increase of salinity from 4 to 20 psu decreased the uptake rate constant (ku) of Se in P. amurensis from 0.011 to 0.005 L/g/h, whereas salinity change (0-8 psu) had a negligible effect on the Se influx rate of C. fluminea. The Se influx rate of P. amurensis decreased by half with the 3.5-fold increase in tissue dry weight. The rate constant of loss was greater for P. amurensis (0.029/d at 8 psu) than for C. fluminea (0.014/d at 0 psu and 0.01/d at 8 psu). A bioenergetic model suggests that dietary uptake is the dominant pathway for Se bioaccumulation in the two clams in San Francisco Bay and that interspecies differences in Se bioaccumulation can be explained by differences in food ingestion rates.  相似文献

Heptageniid mayfly nymphs have been suggested as sensitive indicators of metal contamination in streams based on biomonitoring studies, experimentation in situ, and experimentation in microcosm. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of Rhithrogena hageni, a heptageniid mayfly, to waterborne copper, cadmium, and zinc. Tests were conducted with soft water (hardness = 40–50 mg/L) at about 12°C. Toxicity endpoints were survival and moulting (%/day). Median 96 hr lethal concentrations were 0.137, 10.5, and 50.5 mg/L for copper, cadmium and zinc, respectively. The average daily moulting rate of survivors significantly decreased after exposure to these metals in solution.  相似文献

Bivalve closure responses to detect contaminants have often been studied in ecotoxicology as an aquatic pollution biosensor. We present a new laboratory procedure to estimate its potential and limits for various contaminants and animal susceptible to stress. The study was performed in the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea and applied to cadmium. To take into account the rate of spontaneous closures, we integrated stress problems associated with fixation by a valve in common apparatus and the spontaneous rhythm associated with circadian activity to focus on conditions with the lowest probability of spontaneous closing. Moreover, we developed an original system by impedance valvometry, using light-weight impedance electrodes, to study free-ranging animals in low-stress conditions and a new analytical approach to describe valve closure behavior as a function of response time and concentration of contaminant. In C. fluminea, we show that cadmium concentrations above 50 microg/L can be detected within less than 1 h, concentrations down to 16 microg/L require 5 h of integration time, and values lower than 16 microg/L cannot be distinguished from background noise. Our procedure improved by a factor of six the cadmium sensitivity threshold reported in the literature. Problems of field applications are discussed.  相似文献
