Hepatic metabolism of contaminants in the terapontid fish, yellowtail trumpeter (Amniataba caudavittata Richardson)

Abstract: The yellowtail trumpeter (Amniataba caudavittata) is an estuarine-dependent omnivorous fish found in the Swan-Canning Estuary, Western Australia. Thirty five fish were injected with either the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), the synthetic flavenoid b-naphthoflavone (BNF), or used as controls. The fish were then sampled at 3 and 7 days postinjection. Induction of the enzyme ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was nonsignificant while ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD) activity … Show more

“…After incubation, we added 10 µL of NADPH (3 mM). We used a wavelength of 530 nm (excitation) and 590 nm (emission) for 10 min at 27 ° C in the analysis (Webb et al, 2008).…”

“…The liver in fish is susceptible to xenobiotic‐induced injury for its critical role in xenobiotic metabolism, its portal location in the circulation of blood, and its anatomic and physiologic structures [3]. Numerous chemical compounds have showed the potential to liver injury [4, 5]. Presently, a fish liver injury called “liver and gall syndrome” in China, manifested by the color change and enlargement (up to twofold or more of original size) in liver, along with the characteristics of emaciation, poor growth performance and feeding efficiency, has caused a considerable loss to aquaculture in China [6].…”

“…Many compounds, including chlorinated solvents, alcohol, drugs, peroxidized fatty acids, fungal toxins, and industrial pollutants, can cause liver damage through their metabolic conversion to highly reactive substances and the generation of free radicals (Myers et al, 1991;Webb et al, 2008). Presently in China, a fish liver disease called "fish hepatobiliary syndrome", with the symptoms of color change and enlargements of the liver and gall bladder, characterized by liver cell necrosis, has been frequently reported and caused dramatic losses in many cultured species due to the environmental pollution and heavy use of pesticides and chemotherapeutics (Meng and Ding, 2004).…”
