Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the environmental endocrine disrupting toxicants and is widely used in the industry involving plastics, polycarbonate, and epoxy resins. This study was designed to investigate the toxicological effects of BPA on hematology, serum biochemistry, and histopathology of different organs of common carp (). A total of 60 fish were procured and haphazardly divided into four groups. Each experimental group contained 15 fish. The fish retained in group A was kept as the untreated control group. Three levels of BPA 3.0, 4.5, and 6 mg/L were given to groups B, C, and D for 30 days. Result indicated significant reduction in hemoglobin (Hb), lymphocytes, packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cells (RBC), and monocytes in a dose-dependent manner as compared to the control group. However, significantly higher values of leucocytes and neutrophils were observed in the treated groups ( < 0.05). Results on serum biochemistry revealed that the quantity of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and creatinine levels was significantly high ( < 0.05). Our study results showed significantly ( < 0.05) increase level of oxidative stress parameters like reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lower values of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) in treated groups (4.5 mg/L and 6 mg/L)) in the brain, liver, gills, and kidneys. Our study depicted significant changes in erythrocytes (pear shaped erythrocytes, leptocytes, microcytes, spherocytes, erythrocytes with broken, lobed, micronucleus, blabbed, vacuolated nucleus, and nuclear remnants) among treated groups (4.5 mg/L and 6 mg/L). Comet assay showed increased genotoxicity in different tissues including the brain, liver, gills, and kidneys in the treated fish group. Based on the results of our experiment, it can be concluded that the BPA exposure to aquatic environment is responsible for deterioration of fish health, performance leading to dysfunction of multiple vital organs.
双酚 A(BPA)是一种环境内分泌干扰毒性物质,广泛应用于塑料、聚碳酸酯和环氧树脂等工业领域。本研究旨在探讨 BPA 对鲤鱼()血液学、血清生化和不同器官组织病理学的毒性作用。共采集 60 条鱼,随机分为 4 组。每组 15 条鱼。A 组鱼作为未处理的对照组。B、C、D 组分别给予 3.0、4.5 和 6mg/L 的 BPA 30 天。结果表明,与对照组相比,血红蛋白(Hb)、淋巴细胞、红细胞压积(PCV)、红细胞(RBC)和单核细胞呈剂量依赖性显著降低。然而,处理组白细胞和嗜中性粒细胞显著升高(<0.05)。血清生化结果显示,葡萄糖、胆固醇、甘油三酯、尿素和肌酐水平显著升高(<0.05)。我们的研究结果表明,处理组(4.5mg/L 和 6mg/L)大脑、肝脏、鳃和肾脏中氧化应激参数如活性氧(ROS)和硫代巴比妥酸反应物质(TBARS)的水平显著升高,抗氧化酶(超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)的水平显著降低。处理组中红细胞(梨形红细胞、瘦细胞、微细胞、球形红细胞、红细胞破裂、叶状、微核、肿胀、空泡化核和核残余)发生显著变化。彗星试验显示,不同组织包括大脑、肝脏、鳃和肾脏中的鱼类的遗传毒性增加。根据我们实验的结果,可以得出结论,BPA 暴露于水生环境会导致鱼类健康恶化、性能下降,从而导致多个重要器官功能障碍。
