Abstract

Present study aimed to investigate morphological and physiological change in the tissues of Carassius auratus after exposure against Pb (lead) with various rearing condition. We measured the level of accumulated heavy metal and analyzed ultrastructure with transmission electron microscopy. The heavy metal, Pb, was accumulated in the gill, bone and integument increased drastically for exposure periods, the 40 days. The accumulation of Pb in the gill showed relatively higher than that in other tissues. And accumulated Pb amounts also were increased with exposure time dependent manner in the gill, bone and integument tissues. Also, specific activities of antioxidation enzymes in all tissue after exposure to Pb were increased in the course of exposure. And the activities of SOD from tissues exposed to Pb were increased 2 folds than those from the unexposed but GPX activities were maintained constant. The increased numbers of mucous cells in gill tissues exposed to Pb were determined and morphological changes, such as clubbing and fusion, were shown secondary lamella. Also, exposure of Pb for 40 days on gills tissues cause membrane damage in mitochondria and nucleus. In kidney tissues, the atrophied glomerulus was observed, and the empty space in Bowman's capsule was expanded. Based on the all results, it is suggested that the exposure to the high level of Pb for long period affect on the morphology of tissues, and change the enzymatic balance in C. auratus.

본 연구는 Pb의 농도와 노출 기간이 붕어(Carassius auratus) 조직의 미세구조와 생리적 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 아가미, 뼈와 근육 조직에서 Pb의 축적 농도는 노출 40일에 증가하였다. 아가미 조직 내 Pb의 축적량은 다른 조직에 비하여 높았으며, 아가미, 뼈 및 근육 조직에서 노출기간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. Pb에 노출된 아가미, 뼈와 근육 조직의 항산화효소 활성은 아가미와 근육 조직에서 높았으며, 신장 조직에서 가장 낮은 활성을 보였다. 또한 항산화효소 중 superoxide dismutase의 활성은 대조군에 비해 2배 정도 증가하였으나, glutathion peroxidas의 활성은 매우 낮았다. Pb에 노출된 아가미 조직에서 점액세포는 수가 증가하였으며, 곤봉화와 부종이 이차새변에서 나타났다. 또한 40일간 Pb에 노출된 아가미 조직 내 미토콘드리아와 핵에서는 막의 손상이 관찰되었으며, 신장 조직 내 사구체는 수축되어 보우만 주머니의 공간이 넓게 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 붕어 조직 이 장기간 고농도의 Pb에 노출이 되면 비정상적인 형태로 변형되며, 이에 따라 매우 유해한 영향을 받을 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
