Abstract:

Mycoestrogen zearalenone (ZEA) is found in human foods and animal feeds. Its estrogenic potencymainly depends on its biotransformation fate. The hepatic biotransformation of ZEA in rainbow trout wasinvestigated in this study. Various concentrations of ZEA were separately incubated with the hepaticmicrosomal and post-mitochondrial sub-fractions in the presence of NADPH, and the metabolites weredetermined by means of HPLC. Moreover, the rate of glucuronidation for ZEA and its reduced metaboliteswere estimated in the presence of uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid. β-zearalenol (β-ZOL) was found to bethe major metabolite of ZEA by both sub-cellular fractions. The enzymatic kinetics analyses indicated thatthe α-ZOL and β-ZOL production by microsomal fraction were 8- and 2-fold higher than those by postmitochondrial fraction, respectively. High percentages of ZEA and its metabolites are conjugated withglucuronic acid at the lower concentrations. Data suggest that the hepatic biotransformation of ZEA inrainbow trout resulted in its detoxification as the main metabolite tends to be β-ZOL with weak estrogenicproperty. Moreover, at certain concentrations, the produced metabolites are entirely conjugated withglucuronic acid, which may consequently cause a prolonged duration of action due to entero-hepatic cycle.

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Rainbow trout are classified as Oncorhynchus mykiss, and as such belong to the same genus as Pacific salmon, and to the family Salmonidae, which includes Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), various trout (Salvelinus sp.), Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Rainbow trout are native to areas around the North Pacific Ocean, from souther...

Influence of zearalenone on selected biochemical parameters in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycoestrogen frequently found in food and animal feed materials all over the world. Despite its hydrophobic character, ZEA is also found in surface and ground waters which suggests an environmental risk for aquatic animals. Knowledge concerning mycotoxin-related mechanisms of toxicity is still incomplete, e.g. little is known about the influence of ZEA exposure on fish. T...

Hepatic microsomal N-hydroxylation of aniline and 4-chloroaniline by rainbow trout (Onchorhyncus mykiss).

1. N-Hydroxylation of aniline and 4-chloroaniline was quantified in rainbow trout microsomal preparations using h.p.l.c.-liquid scintillation methods. Radioactive phenylhydroxylamine and 4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine metabolites were identified by co-elution with non-labelled standards. The method provided resolution of metabolite standards, and quantification of both N-hydroxylated metabolites w...

Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene expression is not repressed by dietary carbohydrates in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic gluconeogenesis and therefore plays a central role in glucose homeostasis. The aim of this study was to analyse the nutritional regulation of PEPCK gene expression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which are known to use dietary carbohydrates poorly. A full-length hepatic PEPCK cDNA (2637 base pairs with one op...

Genetic diversity in Chilean populations of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

The rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, was first introduced in Chile between 1905 and 1920 and is currently widely distributed in Chile from Antofagasta (23°S) to Patagonia (55oS). The broad range of the geographic and climatic distributions of this species in Chile offers a unique opportunity to study the effect of naturalization of an introduced species on its genetic variability. It is of pa...
