Evaluation of oxidative stress biomarkers in Aiolopus thalassinus (Orthoptera : Acrididae) collected from areas polluted by the fertilizer industry

The waste products of the fertilizer industry such as heavy metals, but especially phosphates and sulphates, are a serious problem that influences the structure and functioning of ecosystems. The levels of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, sulphates and phosphates were measured in soil samples from four sites: a cont...

520 |a The waste products of the fertilizer industry such as heavy metals, but especially phosphates and sulphates, are a serious problem that influences the structure and functioning of ecosystems. The levels of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, sulphates and phosphates were measured in soil samples from four sites: a control and sites that were 1, 3 and 6 km (sites A-C) away from the Abu-Zaabal Fertilizer Company. Oxidative stress markers (protein carbonyls, lipid peroxides), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and ascorbate peroxidase (APOX)) were evaluated in the tissues of Aiolopus thalassinus, collected from the corresponding sites. The highest concentrations of Cu and Zn were found in the soil from site A. The level of protein carbonyls in the brain, thoracic muscles and gut of the males and females from sites A, B and C were 11.82, 4.38, 5.97 (males) and 19.04, 16.65, 7.79 (females) times higher, respectively, compared to the individuals from the control site. Lipid peroxides levels in both sexes were significantly correlated with the distance from the source of the contamination. In the brain, thoracic muscles and gut of the males and females collected from site A, the level of lipid peroxides were 15.41, 23.49, 11.50 (males) and 25.36, 11.34, 15.37 (females) times higher compared to the values of the control animals. The activities of SOD, PPO, CAT and APOX were significantly affected by the environmental pollutants. The enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidative markers in the Aiolopus thalassinus, a common insect species that inhabits various ecosystems, can also be used as a relevant biomarker of the pollution that is caused by the fertilizer industry
