Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen
species and the antioxidants defences, in favour of the former. In recent years, the …

Protective responses are pivotal in aiding organismal persistence in complex, multi-stressor
environments. Multiple-stressor research has traditionally focused on the deleterious effects …

The manganese contamination has become a global problem, recently, because it is
perceived as a real threat to the human health and the environment. It is well-known that …

There is a growing concern nowadays over the exposure of nanomaterials and their effects
in aquatic life. In spite of reporting the changes in physiology, reproduction and behaviour in …

This study investigates the ecotoxicological impacts of the Fundão dam rupture, one of the
major environmental disaster that occurred in Brazil and in the world mining industry history …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxic effects of Cr 6+ on bioaccumulation,
digestion, immunity, oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation-related genes in Channa …

Conservation becomes increasingly complex as climate change exacerbates the multitude
of stressors that organisms face. To meet this challenge, multiple stressor research is rapidly …

Hypoxia, largely triggered by anthropogenic activities and global climate change, exerts
widespread and expanding stress on marine ecosystems. As an emerging contaminant, the …

The hypothesis tested in the present study was that Zn acclimation will alleviate high Zn
induced oxidative stress in large yellow croaker Pseudosciaena crocea. To the end, fish …

Manganese and iron were found at high concentrations (3.61 mg/L and 19.8 mg/L,
respectively) in the water of the Rio Doce after the dams of Fundão and Santarém broke in …
