Effect of copper on ion content in isolated mantle cells of the marine clam Mesodesma mactroides
Abstract
The effect of copper on ion content (Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Cl(-)) was evaluated in isolated mantle gills of the marine clam Mesodesma mactroides. Clams were collected at the Mar Grosso Beach (São José do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul [RS], southern Brazil), cryoanesthetized, and had their mantles dissected. Mantle cells were isolated and incubated in a calcium-free phosphate solution without (control) or with Cu (CuCl(2)). Cells were exposed to …
