To protect cells from toxicity, metal-sensitive cellular compartments must be insulated
against essential but toxic metals [such as copper (Cu)] accumulated in excess of metabolic …

Copper (0.21 mgl− 1) caused a decrease in whole body oxygen consumption in bluegills
exposed for 32 days, but no changes occurred during days 3, 4 or 9 of copper exposure. In …

In the present study, the effect of copper was examined in the common goldfish (Carassius
auratus auratus). Fish were fasted and exposed to either a high (0.84 μM), a low (0.34 μM) …

The influence of dietary copper (Cu) exposure on accumulation, growth, and hematological
parameters was investigated in Cyprinus carpio after sub-chronic ingestion of 0, 250, 500 …

Cortisol, synthesized in the interrenal cells of teleost head kidney, has a major role in the
physiologic response to physical and chemical stressors. Plasma levels of cortisol increase …

Metal pollution eg copper, in water bodies occurs worldwide. Although copper is an
essential trace metal, at certain levels it is still considered as pollutant. The aim of this study …

Non‐fed perch and perch fed a reduced ration were exposed to copper (0.15 of the 96‐h
LC50) for 40 days. Starvation and growth rates were determined at 5‐day intervals to …

Among species, various strategies in metal handling can occur. Moreover, the same metal
concentration, or even the same metal dose, does not always seem to exert the same effect …

64Cu accumulation and total Cu concentration were measured in plasma, red blood cells,
gills, liver, kidney and bile during 65h of exposure to 64Cu at 20μg of Cu per liter, in non …

Bluegill were exposed to copper (2–0 mg/1− 1 unfiltered) for 24, 48, 72 or 96 h at 24° C. This
concentration approximated the 96 h LC20. Water content of liver increased 4–8% after 24 h …
