The toxic effects of linear alkybenzene sulfonate (LAS) on the larvae and juveniles of tiger prawn Penaeus monodon were tested and the hepatopancreatic glutathione (GSH) in juvenile tigers prawn was obviously depleted when LAS concentration was over 1.0 ppm.
Accumulation of zinc from diet and its release in common carp
Exposure to a high Zn diet induced some metallothionein-like substance in the digestive tract tissue and the hepatopancreas of common carp, but the amount was very low when compared with the amount of Zn accumulated in the nuclei/cell debris fraction.
