Abstract:Fipronil (FPN) is an insecticide used in agriculture. This study focused on the biotransformation process and the histopathological effects of FPN in the liver of grass carp. Fish were exposed to environmental concentrations of FPN (3, 6, and 10 ug l-1) for up to 14 d. The alterations in phase I and II biotransformation enzyme activity (ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase [EROD] and glutathione-S-transferase [GST]), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and histopathology in the liver were studied on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and … Show more
