| Popis: | The effects of hexestrol (HXS) and nonylphenol (NP) on plasma vitellogenin (Vtg) concentration in barfin plaice Liopsetta pinnifasciata was studied during spring and autumn experiment. In L. pinnifasciata two "complete" forms of Vtgs, namely VtgAa and VtgAb, were previously described which may be separated due to molecular mass of their largest polypeptide in SDS-PAGE. In spring, the injection of HXS led to an increase in Vtg concentrations in both females and males. SDS-PAGE analysis of plasma from HXS-exposed fish produced only one prominent band at a molecular mass of 180 kDa that corresponds to an increase in VtgAb levels. NP injected in fish in spring induced statistically significant increasing of Vtg concentration in males, and only one type of Vtg, as in case of HXS, accumulated in plasma. In autumn, the injection of HXS results to the increase of Vtg concentration in the plasma of females and males, electrophoretic analysis of plasma proteins showed that only a 98 kDa polypeptide, corresponding to the VtgAa-type showed a significant increase. The blood plasma ratios of VtgAa and VtgAb in experimental fish are discussed in relation to the season and stage of reproductive cycle. |
