Acute effects of cadmium on liver phase I and phase II enzymes and metallothionein accumulation on sea bream Sparus aurata

Abstract: This research was designed to study Sparus aurata (sea bream) biotransformation and detoxification responses to acute exposure to cadmium (Cd). Sexually immature gilthead sea bream were treated by intraperitoneal injection of Cd chloride (200 microg kg(-1)) for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. Cd accumulation was quantified in sea bream liver by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy after the various exposure periods. The following biological responses were measured: (1) ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activi… Show more

“…Moreover, the data obtained from the study are supported by other several findings (Ahmad et al 2000;Pandey et al 2001;Ali et al 2004;Nwani et al 2010) which show that C. punctatus used in our experiment are original fish species. Our results are also supported by some other investigators' findings (Atli et al 2006;Asagba et al 2008;Bouraoui et al 2008;Soares et al 2008Osman et al 2009) who worked on cadmiuminduced oxidative stress in various fish species.…”

“…GST catalyzes conjugation of many xenobiotics to the tripeptide glutathione while GPx provides optimal protection against oxidative stress (Hermes-Lima 2004) by scavenging H 2 O 2 or ROOH, and has been considered to be complementary to CAT (Halliwell and Gutteridge 1999). In the present study, GPx and GST activity increased significantly in gills with increased concentration and exposure duration, which was consistent with most investigations (Atif et al 2005;Bouraoui et al 2008), suggesting that GPx and GST activity could be elevated to resist the Cd-induced toxicity. The positive correlation between GSH and both enzymes (GPx and GST) also shows that increased amount of GSH as well as elevated activity of GPx and GST in Cd-treated fish groups may protect biological systems from oxidative stress.…”

“…In fish, a number of studies have described occurrence and xenobiotic induction of CYP1A in the liver (Stegeman and Hahn 1994;Sarasquete and Segner 2000;Gravato and Santos 2002;Bouraoui et al 2008). However, xenobiotic induction of CYP1A and GST in hepatic tissues and their relation with DNA damage after an acute exposure is less studied.…”
