COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY C-TOXICOLOGY & PHARMACOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Intersections of Biochemistry and Physiology
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Toxicology:
The journal extensively covers the effects of various environmental toxicants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, on aquatic organisms. This includes studies on biochemical responses and the ecological implications of such exposures. - Pharmacological Research:
Research on the pharmacological effects of various compounds, including their therapeutic potentials and toxicological profiles, is a core area. This includes studies on drugs and their metabolites, focusing on their impacts on different biological systems. - Biochemical Mechanisms:
The journal provides insights into the biochemical mechanisms underlying toxicity, including oxidative stress, apoptosis, and immune responses. This involves molecular and cellular studies that reveal how organisms respond to toxic substances. - Comparative Physiology:
The journal employs a comparative physiology approach, analyzing how different species respond to similar toxicological challenges. This is crucial for understanding species-specific adaptations and vulnerabilities. - Developmental Toxicology:
Developmental effects of toxicants, particularly during critical life stages such as embryogenesis, are frequently studied. This includes assessing the impact of environmental stressors on growth and development.
Trending and Emerging
- Nanotoxicology:
Research on the effects of nanoparticles and microplastics on aquatic organisms is rapidly increasing, addressing the growing concern over environmental pollution by nanomaterials. - Endocrine Disruption:
There is a notable increase in studies examining the endocrine-disrupting effects of various chemicals, especially plastics and pharmaceuticals, on aquatic life, indicating a heightened awareness of their ecological risks. - Multi-Omics Approaches:
Emerging studies employing multi-omics techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics) are becoming more common, providing comprehensive insights into the biological responses to toxic exposures. - Behavioral Toxicology:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on behavioral changes in response to toxic exposure, indicating a trend towards understanding the ecological and evolutionary implications of such changes. - Climate Change Impact Studies:
Research is increasingly addressing the compounded effects of climate change and pollution, especially how temperature variations and other stressors interact with toxicological effects.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Toxicological Agents:
Research on older toxicological agents, such as certain organochlorines and traditional pesticides, has decreased, likely due to the increasing focus on emerging contaminants and their effects. - Invertebrate Models:
The use of invertebrate models, while still present, appears to be declining as more studies shift towards vertebrate models, particularly zebrafish, which are favored for their genetic similarities to humans and ease of manipulation. - Broad-Spectrum Ecotoxicology:
There seems to be a reduction in studies that address broad-spectrum ecotoxicological assessments without specific focus. Current trends favor more targeted studies that assess specific pathways or mechanisms.
