title: [Physiological response of Neocaridina denticulate to the toxicity of Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos].
abstract: In order to study the physiological response to heavy metals and organic-phosphorus pesticide toxicity of aquatic organisms, Neocaridina denticulate was used as a test organism to investigate the impact of physiological indices of N. denticulate muscle tissues when they were exposed to Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos for 5 days respectively with the test methods of semi-static toxicity. The results showed that: when exposed to different concentrations of Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos solutions, the protein concentrations in muscle tissues were significantly lower with the extension of time to varying degrees. In the lower concentration groups of Cu2+ (0.086 mg x L(-1) and 0.172 mg-L-') and the higher concentration groups of chlorpyrifos (0. 006 0 [g-L-' and 0.012 0 μg x L(-1)), the total SOD activity showed inhibitory effect; the trend of the higher concentration group of Cu2+ (0.344 mg x L(-1) and 0.688 mg x L(-1)) showed " inhibition-promotion-inhibition", however, the lower concentration groups of chlorpyrifos (0.001 5 μg x L(-1) and 0.003 0 μg x L(-1)) showed the" inhibition-promotion" changes in trends; MDA contents changed similarly, and within a certain range of concentrations, MDA contents presented a gradually rising trend with increasing Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos concentration, which indicated that Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos accelerated lipid, peroxidation in muscle tissues of N. denticulate. In addition, AChE activity in Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos solutions showed inhibitory effect, and in the solutions with higher concentration of Cu2+ and chlorpyrifos, the activity was gradually decreased with the increase of concentration, indicating that Cu2+ and chlorpyrifoscs impacted the normal physiological functions of N. denticulate, and the higher the concentration, the greater the damage effect. Based on the analysis results, we confirmed that the total SOD, MDA and AChE played significant roles as physiological indicators in evaluating toxic effect of heavy metals and organic-phosphorus pesticide on N. denticulate.
