Biomarker responses at different levels of biological organisation in crabs (Carcinus aestuarii) experimentally exposed to benzo(α)pyrene
Maria Cristina Fossi,Silvia Casini,C. Savelli,C Corbelli,E Franchi,N. Mattei,Juan C. Sanchez-Hernandez,Ilaria Corsi,Shaw Bamber,Michael H. Depledge +9 more
TL;DR: The results underlined that BPMO activities in hepatopancreas and gills were a good biomarker of exposure to PAH-type compounds and B esterases activities in hemolymph and porphyrin patterns in excreta could be proposed as a non-destructive approach for evaluating chemical exposure in this species.

Skin biopsy as a nondestructive tool for the toxicological assessment of endangered populations of pinnipeds: preliminary results on mixed function oxidase in Otaria flavescens.
Maria Cristina Fossi,C. Savelli,Letizia Marsili,Silvia Casini,B. Jimenez,M. Junin,H. Castello,J. Lorenzani +7 more
TL;DR: A method for assessing the toxicological risk of endangered populations of pinnipeds based on a nondestructive biological tool, the skin biopsy specimen, which is suitable for a wide range of chemical and biomarker analysis.

Mixed function oxidase induction in Carcinus aestuarii. Field and experimental studies for the evaluation of toxicological risk due to Mediterranean contaminants.
TL;DR: In this article, the use of mixed function oxidase (MFO) induction in the crab Carcinus aestuarii, under experimental and field studies, for the evaluation of toxicological risk due to the main contaminants in the Mediterranean.

Fingerprint of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in two populations of southern sea lions (Otaria flavescens)
Letizia Marsili,Maria Cristina Fossi,Silvia Casini,C. Savelli,B. Jimenez,M. Junin,H. Castello +6 more
TL;DR: The fingerprint of 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was investigated in biopsy, fur, blood, liver and faeces of live and dead specimens of two Argentinian population of southern sea lion.

Multi response biomarker approach in the crab Carcinus aestuarii experimentally exposed to benzo a pyrene, polychlorobiphenyls and methyl mercury
TL;DR: Hepatopancreas, gills, haemolymph and excreta seem to be useful for biomarker studies in this species, and several biomarkers were found suitable for evaluating chemical stress due to different Mediterranean contaminants.
