  • December 12, 1995. Title
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sirinmas Intharapanith for the degree of Master of Science in Toxicology presented on December 12, 1995.Title:Effect of Xenoestrogen Exposure on The Expression of Cytocluome P450 Isoforms in Rainbow Trout Liver. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Donald R. Buhler Experimental evidence revealsthat xenoestrogens such asorganochlorine pesticides, pharmaceuticals, phenolic compounds and phytoestrogen exhibit reproductive effects on the health of human and wildlife populations. In rainbow trout, injection with 1713-estradiol represses expression of cytochrome P450s (CYP2K1, CYP2M1 and P450 LMC5) and reduces hepatic lauric acid hydroxylase activity. The aim of our study was to examine the effect on the regulation of rainbow trout P450s of four xenoestrogenic chemicals from the following categories:pesticides, pharmaceuticals, surfactants and phytoestrogens. Therefore, four chemicals, methoxychlor (20 mg/kg), diethylstilbestrol (15 mg/kg), 4-tert-octylphenol (25 and 50 mg/kg) and biochanin A (25 and 50 mg/kg) were injected (ip) on days 1,4 and 7 into one-year old juvenile rainbow trout using propylene glycol as vehicle. All fish were sacrificed on day 9.Plasma vitellogenin levels were measured by ELISA and used as an indicator of the estrogenic activity of the four chemicals. Plasma vitellogenin increased in all treated trout to varying degrees, ranging from high to low, in response to the test chemicals in the following order of decreasing of activities: diethylstilbestrol (15 mg/kg), 4-tert-octylphenol (50 mg/kg), 4-tert-octylphenol (25 mg/kg), biochanin A (50 mg/kg), biochanin A (25 mg/kg) and methoxychlor (20 mg/kg), respectively. As found upon treatment with estrogens, all four chemicals treated trout liver microsomes markedly repressed expression of P450's in liver microsomes from treated trout as measured by Western blots.Laurie acid hydroxylase activity also was greatly reduced in trout treated with all four chemicals.

  • Exploring the Environmental Exposure to Methoxychlor, Α-HCH and Endosulfan–Sulfate Residues in Lake Naivasha (Kenya) Using a Multimedia Fate Modeling Approach
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Exploring the Environmental Exposure to Methoxychlor, α-HCH and Endosulfan–sulfate Residues in Lake Naivasha (Kenya) Using a Multimedia Fate Modeling Approach Yasser Abbasi * and Chris M. Mannaerts Department of Water Resources, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, University of Twente, Hengelosestraat 99, 7514 AE Enschede, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 March 2020; Accepted: 13 April 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Abstract: Distribution of pesticide residues in the environment and their transport to surface water bodies is one of the most important environmental challenges. Fate of pesticides in the complex environments, especially in aquatic phases such as lakes and rivers, is governed by the main properties of the contaminants and the environmental properties. In this study, a multimedia mass modeling approach using the Quantitative Water Air Sediment Interaction (QWASI) model was applied to explore the fate of organochlorine pesticide residues of methoxychlor, α-HCH and endosulfan–sulfate in the lake Naivasha (Kenya). The required physicochemical data of the pesticides such as molar mass, vapor pressure, air–water partitioning coefficient (KAW), solubility, and the Henry’s law constant were provided as the inputs of the model. The environment data also were collected using field measurements and taken from the literature. The sensitivity analysis of the model was applied using One At a Time (OAT) approach and calibrated using measured pesticide residues by passive sampling method. Finally, the calibrated model was used to estimate the fate and distribution of the pesticide residues in different media of the lake.

  • Hexachlorocyclohexanes, Cyclodiene, Methoxychlor, and Heptachlor in Sediment of the Alvarado Lagoon System in Veracruz, Mexico
    sustainability Article Hexachlorocyclohexanes, Cyclodiene, Methoxychlor, and Heptachlor in Sediment of the Alvarado Lagoon System in Veracruz, Mexico María del Refugio Castañeda-Chávez *, Fabiola Lango-Reynoso and Gabycarmen Navarrete-Rodríguez Tecnológico Nacional De México/Instituto Tecnológico de Boca del Río, División de Estudios de Posgrado e Investigación, Boca del Río, Veracruz C.P. 94290, Mexico; [email protected] (F.L.-R.); [email protected] (G.N.-R.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(229)-986-0189 (ext. 113) Received: 15 November 2017; Accepted: 22 December 2017; Published: 5 January 2018 Abstract: Organochlorine pesticides are used in agricultural areas and health campaigns, which reach the coastal environment through rivers, drains, runoffs, and atmospheric transport. In aquatic environments, they are adsorbed by particles of organic matter, depositing themselves in sediments in the bottom of these bodies, in which benthic organisms of commercial interest for human consumption inhabit. The objective of this research was to evaluate the concentration of organochlorine pesticides in sediment from the Alvarado lagoon system in Veracruz, Mexico. In 20 out of 41 sampling sites analyzed, 11 banned organochlorine pesticides were identified, such as hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), lindane, aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin. The highest concentrations were as follows: aldrin: 46.05 ng g−1; β-HCH: 42.11 ng g−1; α-HCH: 38.44 ng g−1; gamma γ-HCH (lindane): 34.20 ng g−1; δ-HCH: 31.61 ng g−1; methoxychlor: 29.40 ng g−1; heptachlor epoxide: 25.70 ng g−1; heptachlor: 24.11 ng g−1; dieldrin: 22.13 ng g−1; endrin: 21.23 ng g−1; endrin aldehyde: 12.40 ng g−1.

  • Methoxychlor (CASRN 72-43-5) | IRIS
    Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Chemical Assessment Summary National Center for Environmental Assessment Methoxychlor; CASRN 72-43-5 Human health assessment information on a chemical substance is included in the IRIS database only after a comprehensive review of toxicity data, as outlined in the IRIS assessment development process. Sections I (Health Hazard Assessments for Noncarcinogenic Effects) and II (Carcinogenicity Assessment for Lifetime Exposure) present the conclusions that were reached during the assessment development process. Supporting information and explanations of the methods used to derive the values given in IRIS are provided in the guidance documents located on the IRIS website. STATUS OF DATA FOR Methoxychlor File First On-Line 09/07/1988 Category (section) Assessment Available? Last Revised Oral RfD (I.A.) yes 09/01/1990 Inhalation RfC (I.B.) qualitative discussion 12/01/1993 Carcinogenicity Assessment (II.) yes 09/07/1988 I. Chronic Health Hazard Assessments for Noncarcinogenic Effects I.A. Reference Dose for Chronic Oral Exposure (RfD) Substance Name —Methoxychlor CASRN — 72-43-5 Last Revised — 09/01/1990 The oral Reference Dose (RfD) is based on the assumption that thresholds exist for certain toxic effects such as cellular necrosis. It is expressed in units of mg/kg-day. In general, the RfD is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. Please refer to the Background Document for an elaboration of these concepts. RfDs can also be derived for the noncarcinogenic health effects of substances that are also carcinogens.
