The response to stress triggers activation of the genes involved in cell survival and/or cell
death. Stress response is a ubiquitous feature of cells that is induced under stress …

Heat shock proteins (hsps) are among the most abundant intracellular proteins. Their
synthesis is rapidly up-regulated by various 'stressors' including temperature, glucose …

As3+, considered effective for aquatic weed control, has been found to be harmful to several
species of freshwater teleosts. Channa punctatus (Bloch) exposed for 14 days to nonlethal …

More than 4500 species belong to the crustacean sub-order Gammaridea (order
Amphipoda)(Bousfield Among Amphipods, the Gammaridea are the most widespread group …

Background New methods are needed for research into non-model organisms, to monitor
the effects of toxic disruption at both the molecular and functional organism level. We …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a ubiquitous feature of cells in which these proteins cope
with stress‐induced denaturation of other proteins. Among the different families of Hsps, the …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth. Elevated sea
water temperatures cause glacier and sea ice melting. When icebergs melt into the ocean, it …

Stress proteins such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) and metallothioneins (MTs) play a key
role in cellular protection against environmental stress. Marine ectotherms such as eastern …

Chaperone proteins have crucial roles to play in all animal species and are involved in
mediating both the folding of newly synthesized peptides into their mature conformation, the …

One of the molecular responses which mostly contribute to the physiological plasticity of
bivalves is the heat shock response mediated by heat shock proteins (HSP). Variations of …
