Abstract
- Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) could cause alterations in exposed aquatic species, in terms of oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and tissues functionality therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of acute exposure to different concentrations of TiO2 NPs (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mgL-1) on routine metabolism (oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion) and histological parameters (branchial and hepatic) in Oreochromis niloticus. After 24 hours, we observed an increase in oxygen consumption of 2.36 and 3.23 times in groups exposed to 1.0 and 2.5 mgL-1 of TiO2 NPs respectively, as well as an increase in ammonia excretion of 3.54, 4.0 and 4.82 times higher in groups exposed to 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mgL-1 of TiO2 NPs respectively, compared to the control group. Histological analysis showed, after 72 hours, moderate to severe alterations in both gills and liver of TiO2 exposed fish at concentrations 1.0 and 2.5 mgL-1, the severity and occurrence of the alteration observed was grade 3 (severe and extensive pathological alterations). We concluded that waterborne exposure of Nile tilapia to TiO2 NPs caused alteration in routine metabolism and histological parameters in a dose-dependent manner. Nanoparticulas de Dioxido de Titânio (TiO2NPs) podem causar alteracoes nas especies aquaticas expostas, em termos de consumo de oxigenio, excrecao de amonia e funcionalidade de tecidos, portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo e avaliar os efeitos da exposicao aguda a diferentes concentracoes de TiO2NPs (0,1, 0,5, 1,0 e 2,5 mgL-1) sobre o metabolismo de rotina (consumo de oxigenio e excrecao de amonia) e parâmetros histologicos (branquiais e hepaticos) em Oreochromis niloticus. Apos 24 horas, observamos um aumento no consumo de oxigenio de 2,36 e 3,23 vezes em grupos expostos a 1,0 e 2,5 mgL-1 de TiO2NPs respectivamente, bem como um aumento na excrecao de amonia de 3,54, 4,0 e 4,82 vezes maior nos grupos expostos a 0,5, 1,0 e 2,5 mgL-1 de TiO2NPs respectivamente, em comparacao com o grupo controle. A analise histologica mostrou, apos 72 horas, alteracoes moderadas a severas tanto nas brânquias quanto no figado de peixes expostos a TiO2NPs em concentracoes de 1,0 e 2,5 mgL-1, a gravidade e a ocorrencia da alteracao observada foram de grau 3 (alteracoes patologicas graves e extensas). Concluimos que a exposicao a TiO2NPs da tilapia do Nilo causaram alteracao no metabolismo de rotina e nos parâmetros histologicos de uma maneira dose-dependente.
