This study was conducted in September 2014 to determine the effects
of metal accumulation on the Odanata larvae which is a freshwater macroinvertebrate. Polluted area in the lower part of the mine founded on Umurbey
Stream (Çanakkale, Turkey) and unpolluted area in the upper part of it are
defined as the sampling stations. In this study, GSH (Glutathione), TBARS
levels and Na+
, K+ -ATPase activity were measured after the determination of
metal accumulation (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn) in the water and in the Odanata larvae,
Ischnura elegans (Vander Linden, 1820). There was a decrease in Na+
, K+ -
ATPase activity; although the increase in GSH and TBARS levels in organisms
sampled from polluted area. These results indicate that; metal accumulation
caused to oxidative stress in Odanata larvae I. elegans and this organism reacted
by running the compensate mechanisms for it.
