Low hepatic ethoxyresorufin‐o‐deethylase activity correlates with high organochlorine concentrations in Atlantic tomcod from the Canadian east coast

Abstract: A suppression of hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity was reported recently in large-sized Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod) from the St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE; QC, Canada), possibly related to chronic exposure to persistent contaminants and/or to emaciation. In the present study, hepatic concentrations of organochlorine contaminants and biological responses were measured in female tomcods from three estuaries located on the Canadian east coast: The SLE, the Miramichi (ME), and the Richibucto… Show more

“…On the other hand, a very low response of the CYP1A system has been registered in some species when individuals are exposed to inducing agents. This has been interpreted as an adaptive measure of species or populations that are chronically exposed to pollutants in highly contaminated habitats (Couillard et al 2005). In the present research, this kind of insensitivity of gar could be discarded, as the experimental animals were captive born individuals.…”

“…En 2000, les poulamons de l'ESL avaient des concentrations de métabolites de HAP semblables et des concentrations d'adduits à l'ADN 1,5 fois plus élevées que les poulamons de l'estuaire de la Miramichi (Figure 6). De plus, les poulamons de l'ESL avaient un taux de prolifération hépatocellulaire deux fois plus élevé, une réponse qui peut être induite chez les poissons exposés aux HAP ou aux BPC (BUNTON, 1996;COUILLARD et al, 2005). Les concentrations d'adduits ne différaient pas entre les poulamons de la Miramichi et ceux de l'estuaire de la Richibucto, un estuaire de référence sans source industrielle de contamination.…”

“…Les concentrations d'adduits ne différaient pas entre les poulamons de la Miramichi et ceux de l'estuaire de la Richibucto, un estuaire de référence sans source industrielle de contamination. Donc, les poulamons de l'ESL étaient encore exposés à des composés génotoxiques en 2000, mais cette exposition semble avoir diminué relativement à celle des poulamons de la que les mesures des biomarqueurs comme les adduits à l'ADN soient comparables dans le temps en instaurant un système de contrôle de qualité rigoureux (COUILLARD et al, 2005;PHILLIPS et CASTEGNARO, 1999).…”
