| With the aim of developing biomarkers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) genotoxicity for biomonitoring of the marine environment, the formation of DNA adducts and oxidative DNA damage was studied in the sentinel organism Mytilus. Mussels M. galloprovincialis were exposed for 21 d to different doses of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) (50 and 100 mg B[a]P kg(-1) dry wt mussel d(-1)) via trophic intake. The kinetics of B[a]P concentration in whole mussel tissues was determined in both groups, and a dose-response study was conducted for both gill B[a]P-related DNA adducts and 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) formation in gill and digestive gland DNA. Exposure was followed by a 10 d depuration period to study mussel recovery. Although B[a]P was... |
