The literature on metallothioneins (MT) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTLP) in aquatic
invertebrates is large and increasing, and yet inconsistencies and confusion remain, not …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular, cysteine-rich proteins that have naturally-
occurring Zn2+ in both clusters. They may serve as a reservoir of metals for synthesis of …

Mussels are used as sentinel organisms and bioindicators to evaluate the toxic effects of
chemical pollutants in marine organisms, especially heavy metals, representing an …

With the aim of assessing the biological effects of pollution along three gradients of pollution
in the NW Mediterranean Sea, a biomonitoring survey was implemented using a battery of …

A study was made of seasonal and spatial variability of metallothionein (MT) concentrations,
determined spectrophotometrically in the soluble fraction of the digestive gland of mussels …

The many documents on metallothioneins (MTs) in aquatic organisms focus especially on
their use as biomarkers in environmental monitoring programs, but there are a few papers …

Metallothioneins (MT) are proteins that play an important role in metabolism of essential
metals and detoxification of trace metals from living organisms. Their synthesis is induced by …

A battery of biochemical and immunological biomarkers used for pollution assessment were
measured for first time in the clams Venus verrucosa and Callista chione and were …

The aim of the present study was to analyse the relation between parasitism and
subsequent metallothioneins (MT) in the case of metal contamination. Experimental …

In the present study the induction of metallothioneins (MTs) and effects on the cellular
