Metabolic responses of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) exposed to phenol and post-exposure recovery.

چکیده
Metabolic adjustments were studied in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus exposed to 1.5 mg L-1 of phe nol (10% LC50) for four days and recovered for seven days. Lower triacylglycerol (TGA) stores and increased muscle fat free acids (FFA) suggest fat catabolism in muscle. Remarkable liver FFA decrease (-31%) suggests liver fat catabolism as well. Increased muscular ammonia levels and ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase) and decreased plasma aminoacids suggest higher muscular amino acid uptake. Constant levels of glucose and increased liver glycogen stores, associated with lower amino acids in plasma, indicate gluconeogenesis from amino acids. This is supported by higher hepatic ALAT and ASAT. Higher hepatic LDH followed by lower plasma lactate may indicate that plasma lactate was also used as gluconeogenic substrate. Biochemical alterations were exacerbated during the post-exposure recovery period. Reduction in muscle and plasma protein content indicate proteolysis. A higher rate of liver fat catabolism was resulted from a remarkable decrease in hepatic TGA (-58%). Catabolic preference for lipids was observed in order to supply such elevated energy demand. This study is the first insight about the metabolic profile of I. punctatus to cope with phenol plus its ability to recover, bringing attention to the biological consequences of environmental contamination.

Effects of cortisol and stress on channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) pathogen susceptibility and lysozyme activity following exposure to Edwardsiella ictaluri.
Periods of stress are often associated with disease outbreaks in cultured fish, and stress is often characterized by the secretion of cortisol. Although stress and cortisol secretion are highly correlated in fish, the role of cortisol in affecting channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) pathogen susceptibility is unclear. The effects of short-term stress and exogenous cortisol administration on c...

The effect of isoeugenol sedation (2.5 mg l ) on plasma cortisol, glucose, and lactate dynamics in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), relative to two controls, was examined during confinement, exposure to high unionized ammonia, and acute oxygen depletion. The positive control (PC) for each treatment was no sedation, and the negative control (NC) was sedation with metomidate hydrochloride (...

The present experiments were designed to determine the efficacy of metomidate hydrochloride as an alternative anesthetic with potential cortisol blocking properties for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. Channel catfish (75 g) were exposed to concentrations of metomidate ranging from 0.5 to 16 ppm for a period of 60 min. At 16-ppm metomidate, mortality occurred in 65% of the catfish. No morta...
