Biochemical characterization of the antioxidant system in the scallop Adamussium colbecki, a sentinel organism for monitoring the antarctic environment.
Entry ID: Antarctic_scallop

Summary
Abstract: The scallop Adamussium colbecki can be profitably used for monitoring Antarctic coast environments but its utility would be increased if chemical analysis of pollutants were integrated with data on their biological effects. Since oxidative stress is a common pathway of toxicity induced by xenobiotics, a biochemical characterization was carried out on the antioxidant system of this species and ... View entire text

Quality Specimens of the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki were collected by scuba diving. Analysis were performed on homogenized samples of digestive gland and gills. Measurements of glutathione and enzymatic activities were carried out with a Varian (Cary 5) spectrophotometer, following appropriate methods.
