Abstract
- Mussels were exposed to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (0.4 mg L <superscript>-1</superscript> and 4.0 mg L <superscript>-1</superscript> ) for 24 h and 48 h and its effect on hemocyte cellular composition and spontaneous reactive oxygen production (ROS) levels in hemocytes were evaluated. Exposure to DEHP induced a loss in spontaneous ROS production levels in hemocytes and decreased agranulocyte number in hemolymph. DEHP was found to accumulate in hepatopancreas of mussels and this process was associated with an increase of catalase (CAT) activity after 24 h incubation. At the end of the experimental period (48 h) CAT activity recovered up to control levels. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in hepatopancreas increased following 48 h exposure to DEHP. The results indicated that DEHP could affect hemocyte immune properties, and also cause non-specific general stress-response of the antioxidant complex, which, in turn, was not associated with pronounced oxidative stress.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Ekaterina Kladchenko reports financial support was provided by A.O.
