Assessment of young yellow European eel Anguilla anguilla L. exposure to a CYP1A1 inducer by the quantification of increase in hepatic CYP1A1 mRNA using real-time RT-PCR
Résumé
Young European eels were exposed to β-naphthoflavone (βNF). The CYP1A1 mRNA hepatic levels, measured by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, were correlated to the concentration of βNF and the time of exposure so that it can be used as a biomarker of European eel exposure to a CYP1A1 inducer. © 2007 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.
