Deleterious effects of water-soluble fraction of petroleum, diesel and gasoline on marine pejerrey Odontesthes argentinensis larvae

TL;DR: The histological examination of pejerrey larvae exposed to WSF of petroleum, diesel and gasoline after 96 h revealed a variety of lesions in the larvae, which are of importance since much attention has been paid to large visible surfaces of petroleum spills instead of potential toxic effects of dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons, which is more available to marine biota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities are increased by enalapril and captopril in mouse liver

TL;DR: It is suggested that ACE inhibitors may protect cell components from oxidative damage by increasing the enzymatic antioxidant defenses by blocking angiotensin converting enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fishmeal substitution with Arthrospira (Spirulina platensis) in a practical diet for Litopenaeus vannamei: Effects on growth and immunological parameters

TL;DR: Evaluated the growth and immunological parameters of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei when it was fed experimental isonitrogenous diets containing cyanobacteria A. platensis without affecting survival or creating a growth depression, and the smaller substitution level promoted an enhancement of the tested Immunological parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of nitrate toxicity in the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei , reared with biofloc technology (BFT)

TL;DR: The results obtained in this study show that concentrations of nitrate up to 177 mg/L are acceptable for the rearing of L. vannamei in systems with bioflocs, without renewal of water, at a salinity of 23.3%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on mitochondrial number in the aging mouse.

TL;DR: There was a decrease of renal and myocardial sclerosis and an increase in the number of mitochondria in heart and liver cells, which is associated with a significant increase in survival of animals receiving ACE inhibitors, which leads us to think that natural aging mechanisms have been altered in those animals.
