ABZ was transformed to a single metabolite, ABZ sulfoxide (ABZ-SO).

Vmax in catfish was significantly different (P < 0.05) from the other two species. Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) values(lM) varied significantly among the species: rainbow trout (3.9 ± 0.5), tilapia(9.2 ± 1.7) and catfish (22.0 ± 3.2). However, Vmax ⁄ Km ratios showed nodifference among the three species, making them equally efficient performingthis phase I biotransformation reaction. In a second series of experiments,channel catfish (n = 6 per treatment) were dosed in vivo with gel-foodcontaining ABZ (10 mg ⁄ kg, p.o.). Fish were killed at 24, 48, 72 and 120 hafter dosage. Control fish were fed ABZ-free feed. Induction of ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity was significant (P < 0.05) in all ABZ-dosed treatments ascompared with controls.

A significant induction (2.2–2.6-fold) on EROD activity was found in all the ABZ-dosed time points compared with controls (Rawden et al., 2000) in other studies. Shaikh et al. (2003b) (Fig. 2).

Interestingly, GST activity was Interestingly, we found in the present study that channel lower in the 120-h treatment when compared with control catfish had the highest ABZ sulfoxidation rate of all three species which correlates with the shortest depletion time forABZ in muscle found by Shaikh et al. (2003b). ABZ-SOdepletion in channel catfish was also the shortest (8 h) as compared with the ones found in tilapia (48 h) and rainbowtrout (48 h). Shaikh et al. (2003b) found the longest retention time in muscle for ABZ (24 h) an ABZ-SO (96 h) in Atlantic The present study compared hepatic in vitro ABZ sulfoxidation in salmon. Although we did not include this species in the rainbow trout, tilapia and channel catfish. In vivo, ABZ present study, a low in vitro ABZ sulfoxidation rate should be undergoes negligible phase II-type of biotransformation reactions expected if the same correlation found in the other three and there is no sequential conjugation after the phase I oxidation. As a result, microsomes are considered a good model Km for ABZ sulfoxidation in channel catfish indicates that this for ABZ in vitro metabolism (Wrighton et al., 1995). In the species had the lowest binding affinity (e.g., highest Km value) of present work, the microsomal fractions of all three species the three species. Tilapia and rainbow trout showed greater transformed ABZ to ABZ-SO. No other metabolites, such as ABZ- binding affinities for ABZ. The three fish species studied in the SO2 or ABZ-2-NH2SO2, that are reported in residue depletion present work had higher binding affinities than those reported studies in fish (Shaikh et al., 2003b), were detectable. The for rat (53.6 lM) (Fargetton et al., 1986) and pig microsomes absence of inactive metabolites could be due to limited oxidation (41.7 lM) (Souhaili-ElAmry et al., 1987).

However, endogenous substrates The enzyme efficiency estimate (Vmax ⁄ Km) showed that the such as bilirubin and biliverdin have also been described as AhR three species had quite similar capabilities to activate ABZ ligands. Authors in this area suggest that AhR acts ‘promiscu- ously’ as a transcription factor given that it modulates theexpression of a battery of genes in addition to the CYP1A gene(Whitlock, 1999). This non-discriminatory feature of AhR could Alkoxyresorufins and GST induction after ABZ treatment in channel be suggested as an explanation for the inducing effects of ABZ in the EROD activity found in the present work.
We were interested in investigating whether or not ABZ could induce CYP1A and GST activities in fish after a therapeutic have been used, among other alkoxyresorufins, to characterize regime (single dose of 10 mg ⁄ K p.o.). Other cytochrome P450- responses of cytochrome P450 isoforms in mammals (Burke mediated reactions (e.g., PROD and BROD), for which no isoforms et al., 1985) and fish (Haasch et al., 1994). Induction of S9 responsible for their biotransformation have been identified in fraction activity, specifically EROD, MROD, PROD and BROD fish, were also investigated. Because of logistics, this part of the activities and protein concentration of rat livers after intraperi- study was done only with channel catfish. All of the time points toneal ABZ injection were reported by Escobar-Garcı´a et al.

However, neither PROD nor BROD activities were induction of EROD activity, a good indicator of CYP1A expression detected in either controls nor ABZ-dosed fish in the present (Whitlock, 1999). EROD activity at all of the exposure time points work. PROD and BROD induction has been reported in rainbow was significantly different (P < 0.05) from the one found in the trout after intraperitoneal injection of inducing agents such as control (ABZ-free feed). EROD activity has been used as a good isosafrole and dexamethasone (Haasch et al., 1994), but the indicator of CYP1A induction in fish (Whyte et al., 2000) and P450 isoforms involved in such biotransformation reactions other species (Whitlock, 1999). Some of the CYP1A inducers are have not been identified in fish. In the same study by Haasch organic contaminants that may be present in the water column, et al. (1994), non-induced rainbow trout had negligible baseline in sediments or in the food. Among these compounds are PROD ⁄ BROD activities. Although PROD ⁄ BROD inductions were polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), coplanar polychlorinated reported in rats after ABZ treatment, it is not uncommon to find biphenils (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (TCDD), discrepancies between inducers and the target P450 isoforms dibenzofurans (PCDD ⁄ PCDF) and other halogenated compounds when different animal species are compared. This makes the present in some pesticides and herbicides. For this reason, the extrapolation of results between species difficult.

Reports on EROD induction within the first 48 h after treatment with inducers arefound in the literature. The extent of the EROD induction may The in vitro incubation system used in this study provided a good depend on how easily the inducer is metabolized. PAHs, as an indicator of the rate of ABZ sulfoxidation but not the production example of easily metabolized inducers, elicited increases in EROD of the sulfone or aminosulfone.

Interestingly, Vmax values in to halogenated inducers (e.g., TCDD) are reported to persist for the three species correlate with muscle residue depletion times several weeks in fish (Whyte et al., 2000). Although our exposure found in other reports. Vmax ⁄ Km ratios showed no differences protocol only covered 120 h, and the response was more typical among the three species investigated.
