- W2070932258 abstract "Amphibians are good bioindicators of environmental pollution due to their susceptibility to chemicals during their freshwater cycles. The effects of environmental pollution, together with changes in human activity and climate, have contributed to the reduction in the amphibian population over recent decades. However, toxicological research on amphibians has been rather scarce compared with that on other vertebrates. In this article we review the biochemical alterations underlying xenobiotic action and/or the detoxifying responses described for anuran species, with the aim of establishing possible biomarkers of effect. During the embryonic development of anurans, morphological and behavioural alterations are the effects most frequently cited in connection with chemical exposures. However, such biomarkers have a low sensitivity and are unspecific compared with biochemical alterations. Some primary pesticide targets, in particular cholinesterases for organophosphates and carbamates, have been evaluated. Esterases change seasonally and with the stage of development, and their sensitivity to anticholinesterase agents varies between species. Thus their use as biomarkers in anurans must be carefully analysed. Enzymes and endogenous compounds related to oxidative metabolism may also be used as biomarkers of effect. Glutathione pool, glutathione-S-transferases and metallothioneins respond in different ways to pesticides and heavy metals in anuran embryos and tadpoles. Mixed-function oxidases, in turn, are less developed in amphibians, and show a reduced induction in response to pesticide exposures. Endogenous polyamine levels are also proposed as good age-related biomarkers of damage. Finally, molecular biomarkers related to receptor binding, signal transduction and genetic response have gained increasing relevance, as they have been implicated in the fertilisation process and the earliest events in anuran development. The identification of transcription factors associated with the exposure of amphibians to xenobiotics as well as other alterations in hormone signalling appears highly promising. However, these techniques are likely to complement other methods. In conclusion, the use of several biomarkers with multiple endpoints is needed to link exposure to response and to provide better predictive tools for the environmental protection of endangered anuran species." @default.
