Interactions of temperature and sublethal environmental copper exposure on the energy metabolism of bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus)
The effects of sublethal copper on metabolism were in vestigated in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) by measuring whole body oxygen consumption in fish exposed to sublethal copper alone and in conjunction with a temperature increase. In vitro oxygen consumptions of liver, brain, and gill were also …

MODULATION OF TRPML1/TFEB PATHWAY FOR THE TREATMENT OF WILSON DISEASE
… recessive disorder characterized by toxic copper accumulation in several tissues, resulting in hepatic and neurological impairment. WD is caused by mutations in the P-type ATPase copper transporting B (ATP7B) gene, responsible for copper supply to cuproproteins and removal of excessive …

Toxicity of Copper to <I>Mercenaria mercenaria</I> (Hard Clam)
Toxicity of copper to larval <I>Mercenaria mercenaria</I> was evaluated with static non-renewal and continuous renewal methods that permitted daily observation of mortality, activity, development, and metamorphosis without subsampling. Clam larvae, 100 - 150 microns, were held for up to two weeks …

Ecotoxicology and ecophysiology of mysids, with special reference to copper toxicity in Praunus flexuosus
Toxicity of dissolved copper was examined in a common coastal mysid population {<i>Praunusflexuosus</i>}. The life cycle and ecophysiology were studied under natural conditions throughout the year, and responses to dissolved copper were determined in the laboratory. Pronounced and ontogenic …

A multifarious comparative ecotoxicological approach on a catchment scale from three mine wastelands for improved environmental management and risk assessment: integrating abiotic, biotic and agroecosystem approaches
… mine waste (tailings) following the recovery of copper from sulphidic ores, the impacts on the aquatic ecosystem, the agro-ecosystem and potential ecological restoration using phytomining technologies. The study is focused on the Kafue River basin on the Zambian Copperbelt and seeks to identify …
