Little is known about potential environmental impact of nanoparticles. Gold namoparticles can cause unexpected biological responses. Here, Mytilus edulis were exposed (24 h) to gold-citrate nanoparticles (GNP), menadione and both compounds simultaneously (GNP/menadione). Protein ubiquitination and carbonylation were determined in gill, mantle and digestive gland, along with traditional oxidative stress biomarkers; catalase activity and neutral red retention time assay (haemolymph). 2DE gels were performed on gill proteins (menadione; GNP/menadione). Our results reveal that GNP may induce oxidative stress. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
