Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal variations of exposure biomarkers, oxidative stress responses and cell damage in the clams, Tapes philippinarum, and mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, from Adriatic sea.

TL;DR: This work investigated the natural variability of several biomarkers in Tapes philippinarum and Mytilus galloprovincialis, sampled from Northern Adriatic where these organisms are important sentinel species for future environmental impact assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecotoxicological and human health risk in a petrochemical district of southern Italy.

TL;DR: An ecotoxicological investigation has been carried in the petrochemical district of Priolo (Sicily, Italy), one of the largest in Europe, where results indicated a severe mercury contamination in sediments sampled near a chloro-alkali plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal and inter-annual variability of DNA integrity in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis: A possible role for natural fluctuations of trace metal concentrations and oxidative biomarkers

TL;DR: The overall results of this work suggest the potential role of natural prooxidant factors in affecting the baseline levels of DNA integrity in mussels, and confirm that natural variability of such responses should be carefully considered when monitoring the impact of genotoxins in marine ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the SCGE protocol on the amount of basal DNA damage detected in the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the internal fluids of M. galloprovincialis may increase the basal levels of DNA SBs through oxidative and/or enzyme‐mediated pathways, and the SCGE protocol should be carefully considered when assessing DNA damage in these species.
