The study investigated the effects of TBP on Oreochromis niloticus, finding that exposure to TBP could affect the hepatosomatic index, erythrocyte parameters, biochemical endpoints, and histopathological analysis. Male fish were more sensitive to TBP exposure, showing increased vitellogenin expression, CAT activity, and liver lesions. Antioxidant mechanisms and cholinesterase activity effects were more pronounced in males than females.
The presence of 2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) in the environment increased the risk of exposure to aquatic organisms affecting the animal development or metabolism. The current study investigated the low, subchronic and trophic effect of TBP in both, male and female adult of Oreochromis niloticus. The fish were exposed to 0.5 or 50 ng g(-1) of TBP every ten days for 70 days. Then, hepatosomatic (HSI) and gonadosomatic (GSI) indexes, erythrocyte parameters (hemoglobin content, nuclear morphology and morphometrical abnormalities), biochemical endpoints (glutathione S-Transferase and catalase activities, non-protein thiols, lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation levels in the liver; and acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain and muscle), histopathological analysis (liver) and vitellogenin levels (plasma) were considered. TBP affected the HSI in male and female fish, but not the GSI. Principal Component Analysis revealed that erythrocytes from males are more sensitive to TBP exposure. Likewise, TBP induced the expression of vitellogenin, CAT activity and liver lesion in male fish comparatively with control group, but GST and NPT were influenced only by sex. Finally, the results showed that the antioxidant mechanism and cholinesterase activity effects were more pronounced in male than in female. The current data shows evidences of estrogenic endocrine disruption and toxicity in O. niloticus exposed to TBP, revealing the risk of exposure to biota. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
