Abstract
Effect of polyaromatic hydrocarbons on cellular cytochrome P450 1A induction
Highlights
Aquatic pollution is one of the greatest negative legacies of 20th-century growth (Laranjeiro et al 2015)
The morphological results showed that the range of weight and length for S. rivulatus collected from each region was similar
The hepatosomatic index for S. rivulatus collected from Abu Qir Bay was 1.83-fold greater than those obtained from the coast of Matrouh (Figure 1)
Summary
Aquatic pollution is one of the greatest negative legacies of 20th-century growth (Laranjeiro et al 2015). Due to a large number of industrial, agricultural, domestic waste, effluents, as well as hazardous substances, environmental pollution has increased significantly in recent decades (Bouchet et al 2012) Chemical pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can concentrate in tissues of aquatic organisms; concentrations of chemical pollutants in tissues may be of community health concern for both animals and humans (Honda et al 2020; Juma et al 2018). Antioxidant enzymes can be found in almost all vertebrate tissues, with activity especially in the liver, which is a key organ in the transformation of ROS. These enzymes have the potential to be used as biomarkers to detect harmful health impacts early in their development (An et al 2008).
