The literature on metallothioneins (MT) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTLP) in aquatic
invertebrates is large and increasing, and yet inconsistencies and confusion remain, not …

The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea is one of the most invasive species in freshwater aquatic
ecosystems. The rapid growth, earlier sexual maturity, short life span, high fecundity and its …

The cellular processes involved in metal metabolism in molluscs are reviewed, with

Five biomarkers (MT: metallothionein-like proteins, EROD: ethoxyresorufin ortho-dééthylase,
DNA strand breaks, LPO: peroxidation of lipids, VG: vitellogenin-like protiens) were …

Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) have been extensively applied in biomonitoring and other
environmental fields based on their high enrichment capacity and rapid response to …

As a typical test species, Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) is widely used in the identification
and evaluation of freshwater toxicity. This study provides a summary of the research …

The present study was designed to assess the environmental effects of metals in a field
setting. We explored exposure→ bioaccumulation→ effects relationships in freshwater …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a group of low molecular mass, cysteine-rich proteins with a
variety of functions including involvement in metal homeostasis, free radical scavenging …
