Oxidative stress physiology in Scylla serrata for environmental health assessment

Biological evaluation of crab meat (Scylla-serrata) in the rat.

Shell-fish are of some significance in the human diet. Because of their high content of protein, low content of fat and high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, they are commonly recommended in diets designed to treat atherosclerotic patients. However, little work on their nutritional value has been reported. Assessments of the biological value of different crab-meat preparations indicat...

Environmental Pollution and Oxidative Stress in Fish

Living systems encounter a variety of stresses during their continuous interaction with environment. Environmentally-induced stresses frequently activate the endogenous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), most of which are generated as side products of tissue respiration. Hence, constant exposure to stressors may enhance ROS-mediated oxidative damage. Increased number of agricultural a...
