Mature male dab (Limanda limanda) acclimated at 10 degrees and 16 degrees C were orally administered a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (CB77). At both temperatures, levels of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) protein and 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity showed a two to six fold induction 40 days after CB77 treatment compared to control groups. Maximum responses of both EROD activity and CYP1A protein for the warm-acclimated fish were observed at 5 days after treatment. For the cold-acclimated fish a slow, progressive elevation for both EROD activity and CYP1A protein was observed and maximum responses were measured 40 days after treatment. Absolute EROD activity and CYP1A protein levels of fish from both temperatures were equally high at 40 days after treatment. Since in the control groups EROD activity and CYP1A protein levels were higher in the cold-acclimated fish, the magnitude of induction was higher in the warm acclimated ones. The highest concentrations of CB77 in muscle of fish from both temperatures were found at 5 and 10 days after treatment. The liver somatic index (LSI) showed 1.5 fold significantly higher values for the fish acclimated at 10 degrees C.

Advancing in vitro systems to address the effects of chemical pollution requires a thorough characterization of their functionalities, such as their repertoire of biotransformation enzymes. Currently, knowledge regarding the presence, activity magnitudes, and inducibility of different biotransformation pathways in vitro is scarce, particularly across organs. We report organ-specific kinetics for phase I and II biotransformation enzymes, under basal and induced conditions, in two in vitro systems using salmonid fish: S9 sub-cellular fractions from brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were compared with rainbow trout cell lines.

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) is a significant public health problem that will worsen with a warming climate and increased large-scale wildfires. Here, we characterize an epigenetic memory at the cytochrome P450 1 A (CYP1A) gene in wild Fundulus heteroclitus that have adapted to chronic, extreme PAH pollution. In wild-type fish, CYP1A is highly induced by PAH.

Roundup is one of the most widely used glyphosate-based harmful herbicides in the United States as well as globally, which poses a severe risk for terrestrial and aquatic organisms. In order to identify the detrimental effects of Roundup exposure in aquatic organisms, we investigated the environmentally relevant concentrations of Roundup exposure (low dose: 0.5 μg/L and high dose: 5.

Increased industrial offshore activities in northern waters raise the question of impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on key Arctic marine species. One of these is the ecologically important polar cod (Boreogadus saida), which is the primary food source for Arctic marine mammals and seabirds. In the present work, we have conducted the first comprehensive proteomics study with this species by exploring the effects of dietary PAH exposure on the hepatic proteome, using benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) as a PAH model-compound.

The overall aim of the present study was to determine if exposure to three high volume plastic additives, including diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), bisphenol A (BPA) and benzotriazoles (BT), have the potential to promote adverse effects in Atlantic cod (G. morhua). Ex vivo precision cut - liver slices (PCLS) from six male juvenile Atlantic cod were exposed to four concentrations of mono-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (MEHP, the main metabolite of DEHP), BPA and BT both singly and in mixtures ranging from 0.
