Effects of Two Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers on Rainbow Tout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Exposed via Food

摘要

Two polybrominated diphenyl ethers, 2,4,2',4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether and 2, 4,5,2',4'-pentabromodiphenyl ether were added to the food given to two differ- ent groups of rainbow trout. The rainbow trout were fed for a period of 22 days. On days 6 and 22, a number of physiological and biochemical variables were Investigated including condition factor, liver somatic index, spleen somatic index, hematocrit, differential count of leucocytes, haemoglobin and glucose in whole Blood as well as the liver enzyme activities, glutathione reductase, catalase and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase.
