Petroleum refinery wastewater induction of the hepatic mixed-function oxidase system in Pacific staghorn sculpin

J W Ridlington et al. Arch Environ Contam Toxicol. 1982.

Abstract

Induction of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and aldrin epoxidase was observed in the estuarine sculpin (Leptocottus armatus), following in vivo exposure to Class B petroleum refinery effluent from two West Coast refineries. The data demonstrate the presence and inducibility of the mixed-function oxidase system in Leptocottus armatus. Differences in the extent of mixed-function oxidase induction between the two effluents may be related to differences in wastewater chemistry.
