The aim of this study was to investigate the status of oxidative stress in the gill tissues of goldfishes (Carassius auratus) parasitized by Dactylogyrus spp. We therefore compared the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and total thiol groups in the gill tissues of parasitized and non- parasitized goldfishes. 15 goldfishes parasitized by Dactylogyrus spp. along with 15 non-parasitized goldfishes were selected for the study. A significant increase in MDA concentration (P < 0.01) and a significant decrease in total thiol groups in the parasitized group, were observed when compared to the non- parasitized group. This is the first study which evaluates the effect of Dactylogyrus spp. on the oxidative stress status of goldfish. The results of the present study revealed that parasitized goldfishes showed more severe oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation than non- parasitized fishes and enhanced lipid peroxidation may be linked to gill damage in goldfishes parasitized by Dactylogyrus spp.
本研究的目的是调查感染指环虫属寄生虫的金鱼(Carassius auratus)鳃组织中的氧化应激状态。因此,我们比较了感染和未感染指环虫属寄生虫的金鱼鳃组织中丙二醛(MDA)浓度和总巯基含量。本研究选取了15条感染指环虫属寄生虫的金鱼以及15条未感染的金鱼。与未感染组相比,感染组的MDA浓度显著升高(P < 0.01),总巯基含量显著降低。这是第一项评估指环虫属对金鱼氧化应激状态影响的研究。本研究结果表明,感染指环虫属寄生虫的金鱼比未感染的金鱼表现出更严重的氧化应激和脂质过氧化,脂质过氧化增强可能与感染指环虫属寄生虫的金鱼鳃损伤有关。
