We exposed African catfish Clarias gariepinus from embryo-larvae stage to adult stage (13 months old, BW) to chronic doses of Tihan 175 O-TEQ and endosulfan (Thionex) and assessed the impact of this exposure on endocrine regulation, liver status and offspring fitness. Endosulfan exposure caused a significant increase in plasma estradiol-17β (E2) and decreased plasma testosterone (T) but not 11 ketotestosterone (11-KT). Tihan decreased significantly plasma E2 and 11-KT, but not T. Endosulfan doses altered gonad histology and induced high proportions (18–30% of males) of ovotestis in males and follicular atretic oocytes in females, indicating occurrence of feminization in fish. Tihan also altered gonad histology but only one case of ovotestis was observed at the highest dose. Presence of foam cells in lobular lumen, fibrosis, necrosis, and immature cells released in lobular lumen were found in male gonads and melano-macrophage centers (MMCs), necrosis, fibrosis and vacuolation were observed in female gonads. Fish livers also suffered injuries such as MMCs, necrosis, fibrosis, vacuolation, dilatation of sinusoids, and nuclear pleomorphism. Chronic Tihan and Thionex exposures decreased fertilization rate, hatching rate, ova and larval weight, as well as larval resistance to osmotic choc. They also delayed hatching and increased abnormalities in the F1 generation, all these indicators suggesting transgenerational effects of these compounds.
我们将非洲鲶鱼(Clarias gariepinus)从胚胎幼虫期到成年期(13个月大,体重)暴露于慢性剂量的狄氏剂175 O-TEQ和硫丹(赛丹)中,并评估这种暴露对内分泌调节、肝脏状况和后代健康的影响。硫丹暴露导致血浆雌二醇-17β(E2)显著增加,血浆睾酮(T)降低,但11-酮睾酮(11-KT)未受影响。狄氏剂显著降低了血浆E2和11-KT,但对T没有影响。硫丹剂量改变了性腺组织学,在雄性中诱导出高比例(占雄性的18 - 30%)的卵睾和雌性中的卵泡闭锁卵母细胞,表明鱼类出现了雌性化现象。狄氏剂也改变了性腺组织学,但在最高剂量下仅观察到一例卵睾。在雄性性腺和黑素巨噬细胞中心(MMCs)中发现小叶腔内存在泡沫细胞、纤维化、坏死以及小叶腔内释放的未成熟细胞,在雌性性腺中观察到坏死、纤维化和空泡化。鱼的肝脏也受到损伤,如MMCs、坏死、纤维化、空泡化、血窦扩张和核异形。慢性狄氏剂和硫丹暴露降低了受精率、孵化率、卵子和幼体重量,以及幼体对渗透冲击的抵抗力。它们还延迟了孵化并增加了F1代的异常情况,所有这些指标表明这些化合物具有跨代效应。
