Induction of Mixed Function Oxidase Enzymes in Fish by Halogenated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  • Chapter
Hydrocarbons and Halogenated Hydrocarbons in the Aquatic Environment

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 16))

Abstract

Several representative halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbon environmental contaminants were fed to trout and their effects on hepatic mixed function oxidase (MFO) enzyme systems studied. The insecticide p,p’-DDT and its metabolite p,p’-DDE did not induce the trout MFO enzyme system whereas the polycyclic aromatic 3-methyl-cholanthrene and the polychlorinated biphenyl Aroclor 1254 induced various components of this system, most dramatically ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase activity. A PCB replacement composed of chlorinated butylated diphenyl ethers (XFS-4169 L: Dow Chemical Co.) had no effect on trout MFO activity other than a slight increase in cytochrome P-450 concentration.
