Journal ArticleDOI

Defects in cardiac function precede morphological abnormalities in fish embryos exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: Different PAH compounds have distinct and specific effects on fish at early life history stages, and the relative toxicity of the different mixtures was directly proportional to the amount of phenanthrene, or the dibenzothiophene-phenanthrene total in the mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor–Independent Toxicity of Weathered Crude Oil during Fish Development

TL;DR: Using zebrafish embryos, blockade of AhR pathway components with antisense morpholino oligonucleotides demonstrated that the key developmental defects induced by weathered crude oil exposure are mediated by low-molecular-weight tricyclic PAHs through AhR-independent disruption of cardiovascular function and morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental toxicity of 4-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in zebrafish is differentially dependent on AH receptor isoforms and hepatic cytochrome P4501A metabolism

TL;DR: Three tetracyclic PAHs (pyrene, chrysene, and benz[a]anthracene) activate the AHR pathway tissue-specifically to induce distinct patterns of CYP1A expression, indicating that current models of PAH toxicity in fish are greatly oversimplified and that individual PAH's are pharmacologically active compounds with distinct and specific cellular targets.
