Effects of 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′‐hexachlorobiphenyl on cytochrome P4501A and estrogen‐induced vitellogenesis in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Abstract: Abstract-Estrogen-regulated synthesis of vitellogenin (Vg), a yolk-protein precursor required for reproduction, was monitored to explore the potential antiestrogenic effects of the coplanar polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), 3,3Ј,4,4Ј,5,4,, in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The effects of 17␤-estradiol on 3,4,5-HCB induction of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) were also examined. Trout were injected with 3,4,5-HCB (0.25, 2.5, 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg) or a vehicle control, and after 10 weeks, they were sample… Show more

“…Bile fluorescent aromatic compounds confirmed PAH exposure. Induction of EROD activity and CYP1A protein [22] were selected to assess AHR activation. Oxidative damage to DNA, protein, and lipids was assessed with the comet assay, tissue 3-nitrotyrosine content (3-NT), and F 2 -isoprostanes, respectively.…”

“…In juvenile rainbow trout treated with a range of PCB 169 doses, the LSI increased almost progressively with the administered doses. The exception was the lowest dose of 250 g/kg, which did not produce LSI change [28]. Similarly, in white perch treated with a high dose of PCB 77, the ovarian development was so severely affected by the contaminant that fewer females matured, and those fish that reached maturity had lower GSI than control females.…”
