Antioxidative status, immunological responses, and heat shock protein expression in hepatopancreas of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis under the exposure of glyphosate

In this study, the antioxidative status and immunological responses of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, under sublethal exposure of glyphosate were investigated by detecting the antioxidative and immune-related enzyme activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and relative mRNA expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in hepatopancreas. The results showed that high concentrations of glyphosate (44 and 98 mg/L) could induce significant alteration of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and phenoloxidase (PO) activities by first rising then falling during the exposure. However, AChE activity in all treatments including 4.4 mg/L was inhibited markedly after 6 h of exposure. In addition, the relative mRNA expression...
