CYP1A1 activity in rainbow trout is inhibited by the environmental pollutant p-cresol
2018
Abstract Naturally- and anthropogenically-produced cresols could pose serious risks to fish health. In this study, three piscine CYP isoforms were investigated for their abilities to interact with p- cresol. Therefore, the activity of 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), 7-benzyloxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin O-debenzylase (BFCOD), and p- nitrophenol hydroxylase (PNPH) were evaluated in the hepatic microsomes of juvenile rainbow trout. Results showed that EROD activity was inhibited in a competitive manner, BFCOD activity was inhibited in presence the highest tested p -cresol concentration and PNPH activity was not affected. These results indicate that p-cresol might affect the ability of fish to metabolize numerous aromatic hydrocarbons and dioxin compounds, which are present in the aquatic environment.
