Hepatic biotransformation enzymes in a sentinel species, the painted turtle (Chrysemys picta), from Cape Cod, Massachusetts: seasonal-, sex- and location related differences

We report changes in biomarker enzymes (cytochrome P4501A, glutathione-S-transferase) and protein expression (cytochrome P4501A) in adult painted turtles, Chrysemys picta, as part of a study of the potential impact of contaminants originating from the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape, Cod,...

Description
Summary:We report changes in biomarker enzymes (cytochrome P4501A, glutathione-S-transferase) and protein expression (cytochrome P4501A) in adult painted turtles, Chrysemys picta, as part of a study of the potential impact of contaminants originating from the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape, Cod, MA. In animals from both Moody Pond, a site potentially impacted by contaminants, and Washburn Pond, a nonimpacted site, rates of hepatic microsomal ethoxyresorufin-O
