Abstract: | Benzo[a]pyrene became bound to the hepatic DNA in juvenile English sole () force fed tritiated benzo[a]pyrene. No statistically signïficant change was observed in the level of the binding from 16 h to 2 wk after the single exposure. Specific activities of binding were similar for both DNA and protein. Moreover, a binding index was calculated to represent the number of benzo[a]pyrene molecules bound per 106 nucleotides after administration of a theoretical dose of 1 mmole of hydrocarbon per kg body weight. The value for English sole liver DNA was of the same order of magnitude as the values reported for mouse skin and mammary gland in which benzo[a]pyrene is carcinogenic. |
