Anurans are vulnerable to various pollutants. Benzo[alpha]pyrene (BaP) is a contaminant with hepatotoxic, immunotoxic and genotoxic properties. Metabolized by the enzyme P450 (CYP1A1) produces toxic subproducts that can lead to the death of organisms. However, defense cells aid in the detoxification process. Melanomacrophages (MMs) are phagocytic cells that produce melanin, and the melani…
Although, Brazil lead in amphibian diversity, they are exposed to contaminants that may cause reduction in the number of species. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are contaminants generated from combustion and are present in the environment. Benzo[alfa]pyrene (BAP) is a mutagenic and carcinogenic compound metabolized in the liver and transported through it to the bloodstream. In th…
Hypsiboas albopunctatus has a wide distribution and can be found in shrubs near wetlands and on the banks of streams. Studies with liver and spleen are important due to their metabolic functions, hematopoietic and detoxification. Already testicles, are organs responsible for the reproductive success of animals. Melanomacrophages are cell aggregates with the main function to phagocytose ma…
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a toxic compound present in the environment and capable to affect fish and amphibians. The liver of these vertebrates have cells with detoxification function called melanomacrophages (MMs). A characteristic of MMs is the capacity of produce and store melanin, a protection pigment that is able to eliminate free radicals and neutralizing cations, thereby protecting t…
