    Parlak Ak, Tuba; Aydın, Ayşe Nur; Serdar, Osman

    In this study, the effects of pesticides on the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha, a non-target organism, were aimed to be determined through biochemical responses. For this purpose, first, the acute toxicity value (LC50) of Gamma Cyhalothrin (GCH) pesticide on D. polymorpha was determined by standard static method and the LC50 value was calculated as 13.64 mg/L using probit analysis. Then, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) level responses of D. polymorpha organism exposed to GCH sublethal concentrations for 24 and 96 hours were determined. In addition to biochemical biomarkers, histopathological responses were evaluated. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the abilities of GCH pesticides to induce oxidative stress. Moreover, MDA, GSH levels, SOD, CAT, GPx activities and histopathological responses could be used as an effective biomarker in D. polymorpha.

    Malathionun Gammarus pulex (Tatlı Su Amphipodu)’te Asetilkolinesteraz Aktivitesi Üzerine Akut Etkisi

    Serdar, Osman; Pala, Ayşegül; Aydin, Rahmi

    Bu çalışmada, organofosfat insektisit malathionun subletal konsantrasyonlarının Gammarus pulex'in AChE aktivitesi üzerine akut (24 ve 48 saat) etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, G. pulex'e malathionun iki farklı sublethal konsantrasyonu (0.1 ve 0.2 mg l-1 ) 24 ve 48 saat boyunca uygulandı. 24 ve 48 saat malathion maruziyetinin sonunda G. pulex örnekleri alındı. Alınan örneklerde AChE enzim aktivitesi ve protein düzeyi belirlenerek, spesifik AChE enzim aktivitesi hesaplandı. Malathionunun sublethal konsantrasyonları G. pulex'te AChE aktivitesininin zamana bağlı artan inhibisyonuna neden oldu. 0.1 mg l-1 malathion konsantrasyonuna maruz kalan grupta, AChE'nin inhibisyonu, kontrol ile karşılaştırıldığında, 24 saatte %50 ve 48 saatte %74 olarak tespit edildi. Benzer şekilde, 0.2 mg l-1 malathion konsantrasyonuna maruz kalan grupta da kontrol ile karşılaştırıldığında sırasıyla 24 ve 48 saatte % 60 ve % 68 AChE inhibisyonu gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, G. pulex'in malathiona 24 ve 48 saat boyunca maruz kalması AChE aktivitesinin yüksek oranda inhibe edilmesine neden olmuştur. Ayrıca, sonuçlar G.pulex'teki % 74'e kadar AChE inhibisyon seviyelerinin akut ölüme neden olmadığını ve G. pulex'teki AChE aktivitesinin ölçümünün akut malathion maruziyetinin ve etkilerinin biyobelirteci olacağını göstermektedir.

    The Effect of Naringenin on Oxidative Stress in Some Tissues (Heart, Lung, Brain, Spleen, Muscle) of Lead-treated Rats

    Benzer, Fulya; Dağ, Üzeyir; Erişir, Mine; Özkaya, Ahmet

    Naringenin, a flavonoid increases resistance against oxidative stress. The present study aims to investigate the effect of lead on lipid peroxidasyonu and some antioxidants in heart, lung, brain, spleen, muscle and the effect of naringenin on these parameters. Naringenin was administered by orogastric gavage (50 mg/kg, dissolved in corn oil) and lead acetate was given as daily 500 parts per million in drinking water for 4 weeks. In the rats exposed to lead, MDA levels in the brain, lungs, spleen and muscle tissues significantly increased (P<0.001), in the heart tended to increase but not significantly (P>0.05). Lead caused a statistically significant decrease in GSH-Px activity of the brain, spleen and muscle tissues, in CAT activity of the heart, lung and muscle tissues, in GSH concentration of the lungs and muscle tissues (P<0.05). The administration of alone naringenin caused a statistically significant decrease in MDA levels in the heart and muscle, but a significant increase in the lung (P<0.05). Although increased MDA levels in the heart, lungs, brain, muscle and spleen tissues were significantly decreased by use of the naringenin together with lead (P<0.05), increased MDA levels in the lungs and spleen tissues could not be recovered to the normal level. Generally the decreased GSH-Px and CAT activities in these tissues due to lead were significanly increased by naringenin supplementation (P<0.05). In addition, the reduced GSH levels in lung and muscle, the inceased GSH levels in heart with effect of lead were returned to the normal by naringenin. Lead particularly causes to an increase in lipid peroxidation by consuming antioxidants of cells. Naringenin was able to prevent as tissue-specific (brain, muscle) the oxidative stress caused by lead.

    Protective Effect of Ginkgo Biloba Extract 761 on Di-(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate-Induced Testicular Toxicity in Prepubertal Rats

    Parlak Ak, Tuba; Yaman, Mine

    Bu çalışmada, ratlara farklı sürelerde aynı dozda di-(2-etilhekzil) fitalat (DEHP) verilerek oluşturulan testiküler hasar üzerine ginkgo biloba ekstrakt 761 (EGb 761)'in koruyucu etkisi incelendi. Yetmiş iki adet 28 günlük Wistar Albino cinsi rat; kontrol, DEHP, DEHP + EGb 761 ve EGb 761 gruplarına ayrıldı. Çalışmanın 7., 14., ve 28. günlerinde hayvanlar dekapite edildi. DEHP uygulamasının kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında; malondialdehit (MDA), glutatyon peroksidaz (GSH-Px) ve katalaz (CAT) seviyelerinde, testiküler dokuda dejenerasyon, nekroz, atrofi, disorganizasyon, Leydig hücre hiperplazisi ve bazal membran kalınlaşması ile birlikte apoptotik indekslerde belirgin artışlara sebep olmasına karşın, testislerin ağırlıklarında, seminifer tubüllerin çaplarında, germinal hücre tabakası kalınlıklarında, serum testosteron ve glutatyon (GSH) seviyelerinde belirgin azalışlara neden olduğu belirlendi. DEHP uygulanan ratlara EGb 761 verilmesi ile bozulmuş oksidan/antioksidan dengesinde, azalmış testosteron konsantrasyonunda, indüklenmiş testiküler apoptoziste belirgin gelişme ve testiküler dokunun histopatolojik görünümünde kademeli olarak düzelme sağlandığı gözlendi. DEHP' ın uygulanan süre ve dozda testis dokusu için son derece toksik olduğu ve ciddi yapısal hasara sebep olduğu; antioksidan etkiye sahip olan EGb 761'in ise büyük ölçüde bu hasarın önüne geçtiği tespit edildi
