Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the mechanisms underlying mercury-induced oxidative stress in gills of wild fish (Liza aurata) combining (1)H NMR metabolomics and conventional biochemical assays.

Tiziana Cappello, +8 more
- 01 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: The novel concurrent use of metabolomics and conventional oxidative stress endpoints demonstrated to be sensitive and effective towards a mechanistically based assessment of Hg toxicity in gills of wild fish, providing new insights into the toxicological pathways underlying the oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unravelling the mechanisms of mercury hepatotoxicity in wild fish (Liza aurata) through a triad approach: bioaccumulation, metabolomic profiles and oxidative stress

Fátima Brandão, +7 more
- 02 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: The triad approach used here was demonstrated to be sensitive and effective towards a mechanistically based assessment of Hg hepatotoxicity in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major and trace elements in soils and ashes of eucalypt and pine forest plantations in Portugal following a wildfire.

Isabel Campos, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: The role of wildfire is highlighted in enhancing levels of major and trace elements in ashes and topsoil of forest plantations and their mobilization within the first year after fire, pointing towards recently burnt forest areas as a potential source of environmental contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined use of environmental data and biomarkers in fish (Liza aurata) inhabiting a eutrophic and metal-contaminated coastal system - Gills reflect environmental contamination.

Patrícia Pereira, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Gills can be considered as an important route of entry for contaminants and were demonstrated to reflect water contamination and are therefore useful in the context of environmental assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in understanding the mechanisms of mercury toxicity in wild golden grey mullet (Liza aurata) by 1H NMR-based metabolomics.

Tiziana Cappello, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: The environmental metabolomics approach demonstrated its effectiveness in the evaluation of Hg toxicity mechanisms in wild fish under realistic environmental conditions, uncovering tissue-specificities regarding Hg toxic effects namely in gills and liver.
