چکیده

Two commercial polychlorinated biphenyl mixtures (Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1242) and one polybrominated biphenyl mixture (FireMaster BP-6) were examined for their abilities to induce hepatic microsomal monooxygenation in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Pretreatment of rainbow trout with Aroclors 1254 and 1242 (150 mg/kg IP) resulted in an approximate 10-fold induction of arylhydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylation, ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylation and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation within 7 days after injection. These enzyme activities remained elevated above control values for at least 2-3 weeks. Administration of FireMaster BP-6 (150 mg/kg IP) also resulted in an induction of several monooxygenase activities. Arylhydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylation, ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylation and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation were increased by 6-, 3,- and 25-fold, respectively. Only the latter two activities remained elevated two weeks post-injection. Ethylmorphine-N-demethylation was unaffected by the polyhalogenated biphenyls. Significant increases in P-450 hemoprotein were not observed after pretreatment with any of the polyhalogenated biphenyls studied.

At the present work, different groups of rainbow trouts have been intraperitoneally treated with a polychlorinated biphenyls commercial mixture (Arochlor-1254) at three doses (5, 20 and 70 mg PCBs/ kg body weight) and they have been sampled at 0 (injection moment), 3, 6 and 9 weeks after xenobiotic exposure. Purification and characterization of the cytosolic isoforms of glutathione S-transferas...

RELATIVE POTENCIES OF INDIVIDUAL POLYCHLORINATED DIBENZO-p-DIOXIN, DIBENZOFURAN, AND BIPHENYL CONGENERS AND CONGENER MIXTURES BASED ON INDUCTION OF CYTOCHROME P4501A mRNA IN A RAINBOW TROUT GONADAL CELL LINE (RTG-2)

Cytochrome P450-catalyzed enzyme activity in cell culture was investigated as a bioassay for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzop-dioxin (TCDD) equivalents in environmental mixtures of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), dibenzofuran (PCDF), and biphenyl (PCB) congeners. A problem with the use of enzyme induction is that certain congeners are unable to induce P4501A enzyme activity to the same maxi...
