Effects of Roundup Herbicide and Increase in Water Temperature on the Parameters of Peripheral Blood Cells in Amur Sleeper Perccottus glenii Dybowski

摘要

The separate and combined effects of chronic 30-day exposure to the herbicide Roundup in a sublethal concentration of 2 mu g/L and an increase in water temperature at a rate of 8A degrees C/h on the parameters of red and white blood in juveniles of Amur sleeper Perccottus glenii Dybowski have been studied. The ratio of mature and immature erythrocytes in the peripheral blood do not change under the influence of the studied factors. An increase in temperature after chronic exposure to Roundup leads to a decrease in red blood cell sizes and increase in the share of abnormal cells. Exposure to the herbicide and the rise in water temperature have the opposite effect on the number of amitosis in erythrocytes and the ratio of leucocyte cells; an antagonistic effect is identified under the combined action of the factors. Changes in white blood correspond to a nonspecific stress response; changes in red blood indicate a reduction in compensatory responses to hypoxia.
