چکیده انگلیسی
In order to evaluate the effects of copper and atrazine on the stress response of the freshwater fish Prochilodus lineatus, juvenile fish were pre-exposed to copper (20 μg Lâ 1) or atrazine (10 μg Lâ 1) for 24 h and then submitted to air exposure for 3 min. Simultaneously fish kept in dechlorinated water for 24 h were subjected to air exposure and a non-stress group was not subjected to air stress or any contaminants. Animals were sampled immediately (t0) and after 1, 3 and 6 h of air exposure (t1, t3 and t6 respectively) for the analysis of plasma cortisol, glucose and Na+, hepatic glycogen, branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA), number of red blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood (RBC), hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin content (Hb). In fish pre-exposed to copper the stress response was inhibited, and at t1 and t3 both cortisol and glucose remained significantly lower compared to fish subjected to air stress only. In fish pre-exposed to atrazine there was no rise in cortisol, but there was an increase in plasma glucose, RBC, Hct and Hb at t0 and a return of these parameters to basal levels at t1, as they did not differ significantly in relation to non-stressed fish. Animals pre-exposed to either Cu or atrazine showed a significant reduction in NKA activity at t1 and t3, in relation to air stressed fish. These results clearly indicate that copper and atrazine impair cortisol stress response of P. lineatus and that fish subjected to a contaminant-induced stress, either by copper or atrazine, may not be able to respond to any additional stressors.
