  • Title: B-naphthoflavone induction and its effect on hepatic phospholipid metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
    Author: Harris ME, Schaup HW, Selivonchick DP.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol C Comp Pharmacol Toxicol; 1988; 89(2):165-72. PubMed ID: 2898991.
    Abstract:
    1. B-naphthoflavone (BNF) induction of microsomal cytochrome P-488 and its effect on liver phospholipid metabolism were examined in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) 24 and 96 hr after intraperitoneal injection. 2. Cytochrome P-448 content increased at 96 hr to approximately double the cytochrome content of control fish. 3. Computer-analyzed laser densitometry scans of LDS-polyacrylamide gels of 96 hr BNF-treated liver microsomes showed a 90% increase in cytochrome P-448 levels. 4. A 34% increase in microsomal phospholipid (mumol/mg protein) was observed 24 hr after BNF injection, with a marked increase in choline, ethanolamine and inositol phospholipids. 5. Following 96 hr of exposure to BNF some differences in enzyme activity were noted; choline kinase and cytidylyltransferase activities were reduced, while a marked increase was observed in choline phosphotransferase activity. In light of current information on induction of liver microsomal phospholipid metabolism in mammals, the results of the this study suggest that trout do not respond like mammals to inducers of monooxygenase activity.
