ABSTRACT

The induction of heat shock proteins in different stages of S. gergaria exposed to long and short term contamination with heavy metals, Cd and Pb in food was determined, revealing a prominent variable effect in response to the term of exposure and the type of contamination. HSP 70 was specially quantified and characterized to reveal the probability of using HSP as a biomarker for pollution.
