Juáres Melina Mauad Diego Montalti Ciencias de la Tierra penguins Antarctica serum proteins Pygoscelis papua biological markers Two common and widely used liquid fuels with hepatotoxic activity, and trimethyltin, acompound with neurotoxic activity which is used in several industrial processes, weretested for their toxicity in two species of Pygoscelis penguins. Gentoo penguins Pygoscelispapua were dosed with trimethyltin (TMT)(15 mg/kg) and Adelie penguins P. adeliaewere dosed with fuel for air (JP1)(0.20 ml/kg) and land transport (Polar Diesel, PD)(0.20ml/kg). We use the serum proteins as markers of contamination on Gentoo and Adeliepenguins. The following hematological parameters were measured: hemoglobin, hematocrit,glucose, total lipids, total proteins and enzymes (aspartate transaminase and alaninetransaminase). Normal hematological values obtained on all penguins are in agreementwith previously published data. All tested birds showed significant toxic changes beingseen clinically and by blood tests. No mortality was observed during the experiment.ß globulin increased in Gentoo penguins treated with TMT, showing highly significantdifferences. α 1 and α 2 globulin was fusioned. There was a marked drop in total proteinsin Adelie penguins dosed with JP1. ß and γ globulin decreased significantly in Adeliepenguins exposed to Polar Diesel. This study show that serum proteins and enzymeslevels can be used as biological markers of contamination on penguins. 2006 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37022301 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.3 Vol.22 |
