Resumen

Los estuarios son ecosistemas altamente productivos afectados por actividades antropogénicas. En este trabajo, la presencia de compuestos disruptores endocrinos (EDCs) y su relación con estrés oxidativo se ha evaluado en los bivalvos Mytilus galloprovincialis y Ruditapes decussatus en la laguna Ría Formosa (Portugal). Se utilizó el ensayo de fosfatos lábil alcalinos (ALP) para determinar los niveles de proteína tipo-vitelogenina y el método de peroxidación lipídica (LPO) para evaluar los daños oxidativos. Ambas especies exhibieron el mismo patrón de concentración de ALP: no hubo diferencias entre sexos pero si niveles más altos en invierno. R. decussatus presentó valores mayores de ALP que M. galloprovincialis posiblemente asociados a una capacidad de respuesta más elevada a los EDCs o al estado del ciclo reproductor. Los mejillones, al no estar asociados al sedimento como las almejas, mostraron variaciones estacionales en las concentraciones de LPO, indicando mayor sensibilidad a fluctuaciones ambientales en la columna de agua. Ambas especies parecen estar influenciadas (principalmente en invierno) por EDCs (posiblemente induciendo la síntesis de proteína tipo-vitelogenina) y factores de estrés oxidativo (activando la peroxidación lipídica); lo que refleja la presencia de diferentes contaminantes en la Ría Formosa y los cambios ambientales, así como las complejas interacciones entre ellos.
