Testes of the rainbow trout were incubated in the presence of 0, 0.05, 0.5 and 5 mM cadmium (Cd). Production of those steroids measured was stimulated by 0.05 and 0.5 mM cadmium. Yields of testosterone (T) and 11 beta-hydroxytestosterone (beta) were significantly increased at these concentrations, but there was little effect on glucuronyl transferase and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme activities. Cd-induced alteration of the hormonal balance may result in perturbation of reproductive development.
虹鳟鱼的睾丸在含有0、0.05、0.5和5 mM镉(Cd)的条件下进行孵育。所检测的那些类固醇的产生受到0.05和0.5 mM镉的刺激。在这些浓度下,睾酮(T)和11β-羟基睾酮(β)的产量显著增加,但对葡萄糖醛酸转移酶和11β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶的活性影响很小。镉诱导的激素平衡改变可能导致生殖发育紊乱。
