Summary of Species Comparison
• Rainbow Trout (RBT), Brook Trout (BKT) and Lake Trout (LKT) all metabolized phenol through the same pathways
• While the Km values for conjugation of phenol are similar across species, the lower Vmax in LKT means they will saturate their conjugation system at lower concentrations of phenol and may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of Phase I metabolites.
Jim’s Question:
“Do gender and sexual maturation have
significant effects on the
hepatic Phase I and II biotransformation of
xenobiotics?”

Summary of Maturation Study
• Through the maturation cycle Phase I metabolism increased while Phase II metabolism decreased in females. Therefore the female fish may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of Phase I metabolites.

“Can we use fish liver slices to help us better
understand and predict
metabolism?”

• Both MDA and mono-acetylated MDA are further bioactivated in the liver slice.
• Proposed metabolic route is N-acetylation of
MDA followed by N-hydroxylation.

Jim’s Question:
“ Can an isolated perfused liver
can serve as a representative model for studies of xenobiotichepatic biotransformation in fish? ”
Isolated Perfused Liver
• an intact organ
• bile flow and concentration
• can control perfusion flow and constituents
• single pass
• easily scaled to whole fish
23
Isolated Perfused Liver
• can’t use whole blood
• must supply oxygen
• special apparatus
• viability assays
• short time frame

Results
• PG is the major Phase II metabolite of PH in rainbow trout.
• PG is eliminated from fish primarily in the urine
• The apparent rate of PG formation in rainbow trout ranges from 2.4 to 4.5 umol/h/kg at a PH exposure concentration of 50 umol/L. This corresponds to a first-order rate constant of approximately 0.08/h/kg.
• The mean rate of PG formation, when expressed in terms of hepatic microsomal protein, (assuming 14g liver/kg fish and 17 mg protein/g liver) is 280 pmol/min/mg protein). The rate derived from in vitro rainbow troutmicrosomal glucuronidation of PH and extrapolated to the same PH concentration as used in this study (50 umol/L) is 268 pmol/min/mg protein (R. Kolanczyk - personal communication).

Conclusions
• Microdialysis is an excellent technique for obtaining in vivo metabolism data. This technique allows for continuous sampling of unbound chemicals, the exclusion of most proteins (simplifying quantitative analysis), high temporal resolution, and no net loss of fluid from the animal.
• In vivo rates of PH glucuronidation in rainbow trout were derived from plasma PG concentrations in fish dosed with PH, combined with knowledge of PG elimination rate and apparent volume of distribution. This kinetic technique provides a relatively simple method for estimating in vivobiotransformation rates in fish.

Summary
• Microdialysis is a very general technique for sampling and delivering small molecules in almost any tissue or body fluid.
• Microdialysis provides a "window" into conditions at the tissue level and "purifies" the sample for simplified analysis.
• Microdialysis has a wide range of applications from basic research to clinical applications.
Summary
• With a finite difference MD mass transport model, delivery MD may be used to estimate in
vivo biotransformation rates.
• The modeling construct will accommodate non-
linear metabolism and provide for a continuous simulation through a series of concentrations
typical of Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
