Effect of sublethal concentrations (0.0083, 0.0055, 0.0041, 0.0033 and 0.0028 mg/l) of sodium penta-chlorophenate (Na-PCP) on the enzymes SDH, PDH and LDH in brain, liver and gills of Notopterus notopterus after 15 ad 30 days exposure were studied.

In the liver, cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) activity was enhanced by the treatments while citrate synthase (CS) activity remained unchanged and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was increased in the NaPCP treatment only.

Liver weight and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LD-L) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were significantly elevated during PCP-T exposure and returned to control levels after a 4-6 week recovery period.

Cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase leakage.
The genotoxicity of the asarones is inhibited by the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor cimetidine but the sulfotransferase inhibitor pentachlorophenol (PCP) is without effect.

Neutral red uptake, cell growth, MTT reduction, lactate dehydrogenase leakage and activity were studied in the salmonid fish cell line RTG-2, derived from the gonad of rainbow trout.

We examined 9 pesticides of 3 different representative chemical families, chlorinated aromatic fungicides (pentachlorophenol (PCP), pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), chlorothalonil, fthalide), polyhaloalkylated thio fungicides (dichlofluanid, captan) and diphenyl ether herbicide (2,4-dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether (NIP), 4-nitrophenyl2,4,6-trichlorophenyl ether (CNP), chlomethoxynil).
Chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid and captan were the most potent cytotoxicants evaluated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage.

Previous research has shown that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was competitively inhibited by pentachlorophenol (PCP) and a modified assay produced a detection limit of 1 microM (270 microg l (-1)).
