effects of beta-naphthoflavone and 3-methylcholantheren on biochemical markers in sturgeon fish, huso huso

چکیده
background: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are a predominant group of contaminants that have been shown to accumulate and persist in marine organisms. we evaluated the dose-dependent induction of the cytochrome p4501a (cyp1a) system in the sturgeon fish, huso huso after after exposure to pahs, beta-naphthoflavone (bnf) and 3- methylcholantheren. methods: the fish were treated by i.p. injections of beta–naphthoflavone and 3- methylcholantheren dissolved in corn oil at three doses 35, 70 and 105 mg/kg wet-body weight respectively for 72 h every day. similarly, the control fish received injections of only corn oil. microsomal fraction was prepared and ethoxy resorufin-o-deethylase activity (erod) was measured in the fish liver. cytochrome p4501a1 (cyp1a1) content was estimated by elisa based on monoclonal anti-cod p4501a1. results: beta-naphthoflovone and 3-methylcholantheren treated-fish developed 15-32 fold increase in ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity in liver microsomes. the results of elisa showed higher levels of cytochrome p4501a content in treated fish as compared to controls. conclusion: a parallel increase of the cyp1a immunochemically assay and an increase in erod activity could be recorded for beta –naphthoflavone and 3- methylcholantheren in injected fish. dose-response relationships on the induction of erod and cyp1a immunodetectable protein were recorded. therefore, erod activity and cyp1a content can be used as a biomarker of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

متن کاملMorphological and Histological Study of Kidney in Juvenile Great Sturgeon (Huso huso) and Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus)
Sturgeons are ancient and commercial fishes which posses’ primitive characteristics and due to their great inflections are able to live in both freshwater and marine environments. So their kidney has great ability for adaptation process. In order to find the structure and distribution of kidney nephrons in juvenile Huso huso and Acipensr persicus, sampling of head, body and caudal parts of kidn...
متن کاملEffect of freezing rate on motility, adenosine triphosphate content and fertilizability in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) spermatozoa.
Broodstock selection programs are currently underway for sturgeon species. To complement and further these selection programs we need to develop sperm cryopreservation procedures. In the present study, we describe the effects of freezing rate (-10°C, -15°C, -20°C, -30°C and -40°C/min) on gamete quality characteristics (i.e., duration of motility (s), motility percentage (%), ATP content (nmol/1...

Approximately 5300 hybrid sturgeons with an average body weight of 600-800 g were farmed in 3 round tankers measuring 3m in diameter each containing 28,000 L of aerated groundwater. According to the owner's description, the diseased fish had anorexia, pale body color, and reddish spots on the abdomen. The morbidity and lethality rates in this outbreak were about 70% (3706/5300) and 100% (3706/3...

متن کاملBiochemical responses of juvenile European sturgeon, (Huso huso) to a sub-lethal level of copper and cadmium in freshwater and brackish water environments
In Caspian Sea basin, sturgeons spend the larval and juvenile stages in freshwaters of rivers and then, they migrate to brackish waters of the sea where they grow and mature. With regard to the elevation of the metal concentrations in coastal waters and sediments of the Caspian Sea and its adjacent rivers, it is likely that juvenile sturgeon are exposed to sub-lethal levels of metals during sea...
