Book Synopsis Xenobiotics in Aquatic Animals by : Mohd Ashraf Rather
Download or read book Xenobiotics in Aquatic Animals written by Mohd Ashraf Rather and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the latest understanding of the impact of xenobiotics on the developmental and reproductive processes of aquatic animals, particularly nektonic forms, which comprise an important group of aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture is quickly becoming the largest contributor of fish protein for human consumption. As the aquaculture business expands, farmed fish will be exposed to more environmental toxins, necessitating the use of chemical therapeutic drugs for fish. This book brings together experts on the regulation of environmental toxins and food chemicals from around the world, as well as researchers looking into the metabolism and disposal of foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) in fish species. The impact of xenobiotics on reproductive and developmental biology of all living forms has become of prime importance at the current time. As the effect of these xenobiotics on aquatic animals is an emerging area for research and development, several groups across the world are working on these aspects, targeting different groups of fishes in both marine and freshwater ecosystems. This collective work highlights several key and updated recent aspects of different types of xenobiotics entering aquatic ecosystems, impacts of these agents on reproductive physiology, developmental biology, breeding biology, hormonal imbalance, aquatic ecology, and pollution on the aquatic ecosystem. The unique aggregation of different types of stressors to aquatic animals under a single volume will be a useful reference for readers, including scientists, teachers, students, researchers and policymakers and those involved in aquaculture and environment conservation.

Book Synopsis Xenobiotic Biotransformation in Aquatic Organisms by : Daniel K. Schlenk
Download or read book Xenobiotic Biotransformation in Aquatic Organisms written by Daniel K. Schlenk and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton); a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster); and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton stelleri possessed cytochrome P-450 (P-450), various Phase II conjugation and flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) activities, primitive marine molluscs have the appropriate enzymes to cope with organic xenobiotics. Studies examining gill and visceral mass microsomes from the oyster (Crassostrea gigas) demonstrated strong evidence for FMO and co-oxidation pathways and possible involvement of P- 450. FMO and one electron co-oxidation pathways appear to catalyze N-oxidation of 2-aminofluorene in microsomes from oyster visceral mass suggesting that, like the chiton, multiple enzymes are involved in xenobiotic biotransformation in the oyster. In rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the in vitro and in vivo biotransformation of aldicarb was examined to help determine the role of FMO in this species. Since FMO was responsible for the formation of the major metabolite, aldicarb sulfoxide, this enzyme plays a significant role in the biotransformation of nitrogen and sulfur-containing chemicals. FMO enzyme activity was used in conjunction with immunochemical quantitation to observe the tissue distribution, sexual and developmental differences of trout FMO. Immunoquantitation of FMO was directly correlated with enzyme activity. These data showed that trout FMO is structurally and biochemically related the mammalian forms of FMO. Since the trout has been used as an alternative vertebrate model to study mammalian toxicology, the demonstration of FMO in this species will provide a better understanding of the enzymatic basis for the biotransformation of nitrogen and sulfur-containing chemicals.

This book has tried to give information on various issues to give comprehensive and concise knowledge of the recent advancement in the field of environmental xenobiotics and how it disturbs the plants metabolism. Other key features of the book are related to xenobiotic toxicity and detoxification mechanism, biochemical tools toward its remediation processes, molecular mechanism for xenobiotics detoxification and effect on metallomics. It also focuses on recent development in the field of waste water remediation concerned with the xenobiotics involvement. This book is different in such a way that it includes all the initial information along with the new researches. It includes the description of problem along with its solution. This volume describe the effects of xenobiotics at different levels i.e. biochemical, physiological and molecular, giving the details on signaling pathways to modify the responses of xenobiotics in plant system. Thus, it gives confirming crosstalk between xenobiotic effects and signalling pathways. This book includes description about both the organic contaminants such as pesticides, solvents and petroleum products as well as inorganic xenobiotics that include heavy metals, non-metals, metalloids, and simple soluble salts. Here the plant is main objective and that have to deal with these kinds of compounds either by avoiding accumulation of these compounds or by exhibiting several enzymatic reactions for detoxification including oxidation, reduction, and conjugation reactions. Affected plants exhibit several enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant and other reactions for detoxification of ROS including oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and conjugation reactions. The book focuses on different forms and sources of xenobiotics including organic and inorganic xenobiotics. The matter of this book will definitely increase the knowledge about the impacts of xenobiotics on plants system. There must be potentially broad readership who could find this fruitful for their study as well as for their research. As this book has balance between basic plant physiology and toxicity caused by the xenobiotics so it can be widely used in several disciplines. Overall, the book will bring deep knowledge in the field of xenobiotics toxicity in plants during recent years and it is definitely a compilation of interesting information which isn't fully covered elsewhere in the current market.
