Abstract
Bile was collected 7 days after treating rainbow trout with 1 ppb [3H]2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF). HPLC analysis of methylated extracts of this bile, before and after hydrolysis with β-glucuronidase and arylsulfatase, revealed that the major metabolite was the glucuronide conjugate of 4-OH-2,3,7,8-TCDF, which amounted to 38% of the TCDF-derived radioactivity in bile. In order to examine the inherent capability of trout liver to metabolize this compound under defined conditions, [3H]TCDF was incubated with freshly isolated hepatocytes prepared from rainbow trout pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene (an inducer of liver monooxygenase enzymes). The maximum (initial) metabolism observed was 20 pmol TCDF equiv/mg dry wt in 30 min. Extraction and HPLC analysis of cells and medium revealed one major metabolite: 4-OH-2,3,7,8-TCDF.
