Résumé
There is evidence that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are consistently the predominant organic contaminants in concentration found in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the North and Central Adriatic Sea. Hence this study investigates the PAH toxicity to loggerheads by using a particular set of genes [i.e. CYP1B, CAT, GPX, GSTT1, SOD3, DNMT1, Epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1), Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), Lamin-A/C isoform 3 (LMNA), Talin 1 (TLN1), Annexin A1 (ANXA1)] whose altered expression is potentially dependent on and specific for the PAH-related mechanism of action. Twenty healthy juvenile loggerheads were thus divided into high and low exposure groups (mean of ΣPAHs: 80.34 ng mL
