The potential usefulness of an insect model to evaluate oxidative stress induced by environmental pollutants was examined with trivalent arsenic (As3+, NaAsO2) and pentavalent arsenic (As5+, Na2HAsO4) in adult female house flies,Musca domestica, and fourth‐instar cabbage loopers,Trichoplusia ni. M. domesticawas highly susceptible to both forms of arsenic following 48 h exposure in the drinking water with LC50s of 0.008 and 0.011% w/v for As3+and As5+, respectively.T. nilarvae were susceptible to dietary As3+with an LC50of 0.032% w/w but seem to tolerate As5+well with an LC50of 0.794% concentration after 48 h exposure. The minimally acute LC5dose of both As3+and As5+varied considerably but averaged 0.005% for both insects. The potential of both valencies of arsenic for inducing oxidative stress in the insects exposed ad libitum to approximately LC5levels was assessed. The parameters examined were the alterations of the antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione transferase (GST), the peroxidase activity of glutathione transferase (GSTPX), and glutathione reductase (GR), and increases in lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation. SOD (1.3‐fold), GST (1.6‐fold), and GR (1.5‐fold) were induced by As3+inM. domesticabut CAT and GSTPX were not affected. As5+had no effect onM. domestica. InT. ni, the antioxidant enzyme activities were not affected by As3+except for SOD which was suppressed by 29.4% and GST which was induced by 1.4‐fold. As5+had no effect except the suppression of SOD by 41.2%. Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, which represent stronger indices of oxidative stress, were elevated in both insects by up to 2.9‐fold. However, based on the antioxidant enzyme response to the arsenic anions, the mode of action of arsenic induced oxidative stress may differ between the two insects. Until this aspect is further clarified, evidence at this time favors the prospect of As3+as a pro‐oxidant, especially forM. domestica. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
