B-esterases characterisation in the digestive tract of the common octopus and the European cuttlefish and their in vitro responses to contaminants of environmental concern

S. Omedes et al.

Summary: This study compares the enzymatic activities involved in detoxification reactions and neural transmission in the digestive tract of two commercial cephalopods, and finds that carboxylesterase activities are higher in octopus than in cuttlefish, while cuttlefish have higher hydrolysis rates of cholinesterase substrates than octopus. This may suggest that octopus is more protected from neurotoxic exposures.

Changes in global protein expression in sea turtle cells exposed to common contaminants indicates new biomarkers of chemical exposure

Stephanie Chaousis et al.

Summary: Non-targeted protein expression can provide insights into contaminant effects on wildlife and potential biomarkers. In this study, primary cells from different tissue types of green sea turtles were exposed to contaminants, showing significant differences in protein expression response. Known chemical exposure markers and potential new markers were identified in the in vitro response, indicating the promising utility of this methodology for biomarker discovery in wildlife.

Polychlorinated organic pollutants (PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs) in loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) turtles from Central-Southern Tyrrhenian Sea

Sara Lambiase et al.

Summary: This study assessed the levels of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in sea turtles from the Tyrrhenian Sea, finding that DL-PCBs levels were higher in Caretta caretta than in Chelonia mydas, possibly due to different eating habits. Positive correlations were found between PCB-81 and body size parameters, indicating that contaminant burden is related to body size. Risk assessment measured in TEQ values showed higher levels of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in Caretta caretta compared to Chelonia mydas.

Summary: Mussels were found to be the most sensitive to xenobiotic exposures, while gastropods were the least sensitive with particular substrate-specific preferences. Among all species, the plastic additive tetrabromobisphenol A displayed the highest CE-inhibitory capacity.

First study on the presence of plastic additives in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Mediterranean Sea

Berta Sala et al.

Summary: Loggerhead turtles voluntarily ingest floating plastic debris and are chronically exposed to plastic additives. The presence of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in their tissues is mainly from ingestion of plastic debris rather than their prey, leading to biomagnification potential of certain OPEs in turtle muscle compared to their main prey. Regular ingestion of plastic debris and contamination from their prey may explain the significantly higher levels of OPEs in loggerhead turtles than in other marine animals in the western Mediterranean.

Molecular structural heterogeneity of bisphenols governs their serum albumin binding

Xingchen Zhao et al.

Summary: Bisphenol A and its analogs are transported by blood and bind estrogen receptors in target organs or cells, with moderate binding ability to human serum albumin. This interaction may influence their retention and toxicity in the bloodstream.
