The aim of this study was to investigate the oxidative stress responses of 96h atrazine exposure of common carp. The acute toxicity test was performed on common carp accord-ing to OECD No. 203. The experiment was conducted in a semistatic system, and the test solutions were replaced once a day. At the end of the test, blood samples and selected or-gans (liver, gill and kidney) were taken, immediately frozen and stored at-85 °C until analyses of oxidative stress pa-rameters (ferric reducing potencial of plasma, ceruloplas-min, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). The acute ex¬posure of atrazine to common carp caused significant shifts in oxidative stress markers, especially in liver samples.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the oxidative stress responses of 96h atrazine exposure of common carp. The acute toxicity test was performed on common carp accord-ing to OECD No. 203. The experiment was conducted in a semistatic system, and the test solutions were replaced once a day. At the end of the test, blood samples and selected or-gans (liver, gill and kidney) were taken, immediately frozen and stored at-85 °C until analyses of oxidative stress pa-rameters (ferric reducing potencial of plasma, ceruloplas-min, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances). The acute ex¬posure of atrazine to common carp caused significant shifts in oxidative stress markers, especially in liver samples.Pubblicazioni consigliate
