摘要
The main objective of this study was to apply a set of sensitive non-lethal biomarkers in skin biopsies of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) to evaluate the toxicological status of this mysticete in the Pelagos Sanctuary (Mediterranean Sea) and in the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez-Mexico) We developed a multi-trial diagnostic tool" (based on field and in vitro studies) combining molecular biomarkers (western blot of CYP1A1 CYP2B) and gene expression (qRT-PCR of HSP70 ER alpha AHR E2F 1) with the analysis of OCs PAHs and PBDEs The study revealed a higher level of toxicological stress in the Mediterranean fin whales (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
