Effect of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on Na +–K +‐ATPase in juvenile gilthead seabream Sparus aurata

In this study, the effects of exposure to pyrene, fluorene and a mixture of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) upon branchial Na +/K +-ATPase was investigated in juvenile seabream Sparus aurata in a 96 h in vivo experiment. No significant effect was found, and thus it was concluded that branchial Na+/K +-ATPase is probably not affected by PAH.
