| seasonal effect on biomarkers of exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons in fish from kuwait's marine area. | the aquatic biota of the arabian gulf deals with exposure to chronic oil pollution, several constituents of which cause induction of cytochrome p450 1a that serves as a biomarker of ahr ligand exposure. in this study, fluorescent aromatic compounds (facs) in bile and 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (erod) catalytic activity were determined as a measure of exposure biomarkers in two fish species, yellow fin seabream (acanthopagrus latus) and tonguesole (cynoglossus arel) captured from kuwait bay a ... | 2015 | 26409815 |
| metallothionein, oxidative stress and trace metals in gills and liver of demersal and pelagic fish species from kuwaits' marine area. | two fish species yellowfin seabream (acanthopagrus latus) and tonguesole (cynoglossus arel) were collected from two locations in kuwait's territorial waters in non-reproductive periods and used as bio-indicator organism for the assessment of metals in the marine environment. species variation in fish was observed; seabream contained high metal content and metallothionein in liver and gill tissues compared to tonguesole, especially from kuwait bay area. oxidative injury was registered in the gill ... | 2015 | 26231068 |
