Tamoxifen induces biochemical responses in Pacific oysters Magallana gigas (Thunberg, 1793) at environmentally relevant concentrations.
The activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were evaluated in the gills (GI) and digestive gland (DG) of Magallana gigas oysters exposed to tamoxifen (TAM) at environmental...

Summary: | The activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were evaluated in the gills (GI) and digestive gland (DG) of Magallana gigas oysters exposed to tamoxifen (TAM) at environmental concentrations of 10 and 100 ng L-1 for 1 and 4 days. A higher CAT activity in the GI and DG and higher GPx activity only in the DG was observed of oysters exposed to both concentrations after 1 day. Furthermore, a significant increase in GR and G6PDH, was detected in the DG after 1 day of exposure to 10 ng L-1 and only G6PDH activity increase after 1 day of exposure to 10 ng L-1 in the GI. This suggests that the DG is a tissue more sensitive to TAM exposure and was confirmed with the individual Integrated Biomarker Response version 2 index (IBRv2i), highlighting the acute stress caused by TAM and a cellular adaptation. |
