Oxidative stress generated by diesel on the digestive gland of the Antarctic limpet Nacella concinna
The limpet Nacella concinna is a gastropod mollusk widespread along Antarctic coasts. The possible effects of a fuel commonly used in Antarctica on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative damage on the digestive gland of Nacella concinna, as possible biomarkers for hydrocarbon pollution in...

The limpet Nacella concinna is a gastropod mollusk widespread along Antarctic coasts. The possible effects of a fuel commonly used in Antarctica on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative damage on the digestive gland of Nacella concinna, as possible biomarkers for hydrocarbon pollution in Antarctic coasts were studied. Three groups of 45 individuals each were kept in seawater containing 0, 0.5, or 0.1% diesel.
