The present was performed to identify the effects of tributyltin (TBT) in the immature mice testes. 3-week-old male ICR mice were orally administrated on one time basis of TBT dose of O (Vehicle control, VC), 25 (TBT 25 mg/kg, T$_{25}$ ), 50 (TBT 50 mg/kg, T$_{50}$ ), 100 (TBT 100 mg/kg, T$_{100}$ ) mg/kg per each one. After 3 days the time treated of TBT, mice were sacrified and wighted body, testis, epididymis, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, and prostate. As the result of weighing, wights of each oragan and gonad index were tendency decresed in comparing groups of TBT treated with that (C) of unteated (p <0.05). As the result of examination of steroid hormones in the immature male mice, The concentrations of serum and intratesticular testosterone were significatly increased rather than the control group. But concentrations of estradiol were decresed objectly. A group of the highest change of concentrations of steroid hormones is T$_{100}$ . The high dose group, T$_{100}$ , was decreased all of concentrations of steroid hormones rather than those of T$^{25}$ . The result of observation with histological changes in testis showed a tendency for innercellular wall to increase damage and extinction in seminiferous tubles. As the result of investigation apoptotic cell numbers in the testis using teminal deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase -mediated dUTP-digoxygenin nick end-labeling immunohistochemical straia, The ratio of Apoptic cells significantly was incensed in depending on treatment of TBT does. In conclusion, these results shows that TBT triggers apoptosis on reproductive cell in testis and changes level of concentrations of steroid hormones in the immature male mice , as endocrine disruptors (EDs).

Juvenile Paralichthys olivaceus (mean length $17.3{\pm}2.2cm$, mean weight $46.5{\pm}6.3g$) were exposed for 10 days to tributyltin (TBT) at various concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4 and $8{\mu}g/L$). Hematological parameters, such as red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (Ht), and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, were considerably decreased by high TBT concentrations. In plasma constituents, inorganic components such calcium and magnesium were also significantly altered. Plasma calcium was notably decreased, whereas plasma magnesium was increased. The enzyme components, glutamic oxalate transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT), were significantly decreased by TBT exposure. The present findings suggest that TBT exposure can cause significant alterations in hematological parameters and plasma constituents of flatfish Paralichthys olivaceus.

Tributyltin (TBT) and its degradation products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) were quantitatively determined in surface sediments and two molluscan species, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and rock shell (Thais ctavigera), from Gwangyang Bay, Korea. Butyltin compounds were detectable in almost all sediment and biota samples. Tributyltin concentrations in surface sediment ranged<2∼33 ng g$\^$-1/, which is at a lower end of TBT concentrations in industrialized bays in Korea. However, TBT levels in sediments were related to boating activities around the bay. In biota samples, TBT concentrations were in the range of 178∼2,458 ng g$\^$-1/ toy oyster and 47∼236 ng g$\^$-1/ for rock shell. Relatively high TBT concentrations in biota were found near wharves for fisherboats and harbor areas. About 90∼100％ of the female T. clavigera displayed imposex, and relative penis length index of the imposexed-female was in the range of 20.9∼107.9％. Furthermore, TBT body residue had a significant positive relationship with degree of imposex in T. clavigera. Overall, TBT concentrations in Gwanyang Bay were much lower than other major bays in Korea.

Spatial and vertical variations of butyltins(BTs) were investigated in polluted sediments from Jinhae, Busan, Ulsan and Yeongil Bays located in the southeastern part of Korea. Tributyltin(TBT) as a dominant species was detected in 18 of the 20 surficial sediments, and TBT levels were lower that for those in heavily polluted areas worldwide, ranging from 12 to 766 ng Sn/g dry wt. Distribution of TBT levels among bays was not significantly different (p=0.286, ANOVA). The horizontal distributions observed at 20 sites suggests that TBT concentrations are still high in polluted sites around harbors and industrial complexes. The sedimentary records a peak in the early 1990s in Jinhae Bay, in the mid 1980s in Ulsan Bay and in the late 1970s in Yeongil Bay except for Busan Bay which had a homogenous profile. In paricular, TBT at the surface sediments of four core samples still had high levels. From the horizontal and vertical results, it could be assumed that TBT inputs in the sediments were not reduced significantly compared to past levels. The annual accumulation rates estimated using the sedimentation rates and the concentration of surficial sediments exhibited that the accumulation rate of Ulsan Bay was greater than the rates for Jinhae and Yeongil Bays.

Butyltins (BTs) were measured in 2 species of shellfish and 16 species of fish collected along the Korean coast. Tributyltin (TBT) was detected in the mussels and oysters of sentinel organisms (20 to 940 ng Sn/g dry wt), indicating widespread contamination of TBT in the Korean coast. The elevated concentrations of TBT in the shellfish found in the sites near harbors or shipyards suggested that antifouling paints are probable major sources of butyltins in these areas. The TBT compound was detected in 12 out of 16 fish samples. The concentrations of TBT in fish muscles wee between 7 and 151 ng Sn/g dry wt, while the level in whole body of anchovy was very high (793 ng Sn/g dry wt). Exposure doses to Korean people via consumption of these marine products wee evaluated. The results suggested that the environmental levels of TBT were below the level of concern.

내분비교란물질로 알려진 Tributyltin(TBT)는 흰쥐 정소 내 생식세포와 간질세포의 세포자연사를 일으켜 정소의 기능을 감소시키는 것으로 보고되고 있으나, 그 기전은 명확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정소 내 간질세포를 표적으로 TBT에 의해 지방세포로 분화가 유도되는 지를 확인하고, 이로 인한 정소 내 세포자연사와의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 3주령 된 수컷 흰쥐에 각각 TBT 1 mg과 10 mg/kg/day을 1주일 동안 경구 투여한 후 정소를 분리하여 무게를 측정하였다. 획득된 정소의 일부는 냉동 절편을 만들어 BODIPY로 지방세포를 염색하였고, 일부는 파라핀 절편을 만들어 TUNEL 염색을 수행하였다. 나머지 정소는 정소 백색막을 제거한 후 세정관 사이에 존재하는 간질세포를 분리하였다. 분리된 간질세포에서 total RNA를 추출한 다음 real-time PCR 방법으로 지방세포 유도 유전자들과 세포자연사 관련 유전자들을 분석하였다. 정소의 무게는 대조군에 비교해 TBT 10 mg을 투여한 군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. BODIPY 염색 결과, TBT 10 mg을 투여한 군의 간질세포에서 염색된 세포의 수가 증가하였고, TUNEL 염색 결과에서도 대조군과 비교해 TBT 투여한 군에서 간질세포 내 세포자연사가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Real-time PCR을 이용해 간질세포 내 유전자 발현을 분석한 결과, 투여된 TBT의 농도가 증가할수록 PPAR${\gamma}$, aP2, PLIN, PGAR 등 지방세포 유도 유전자들의 발현이 증가하였고, 이와 함께 TNFRSF1A, TNFSF10과 같은 세포자연사 관련 유전자의 발현도 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 환경성 내분비 교란물질로 알려진 TBT에 노출될 경우 정소 내 간질세포의 지방세포로의 분화가 유발되면서 세포자연사가 증가하고, 이에 따른 정소 기능의 저하를 야기시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Tribuyltin (TBT)을 포함한 유기주석 방오도료의 국내 사용규제에 따른 저감효과를 평가하기 위해서, 국내에서 가장 큰 산업항 중 하나인 울산항 주변에서 2009년과 2011년에 채취한 퇴적물 내 유기주석화합물(butyltin compounds; BTs)을 정량하여 잔류수준과 공간적 분포를 조사하였다. 또한 2003년 조사결과와 비교하여 퇴적물 내 유기주석화합물 잔류의 장기경향을 조사하였다. 퇴적물 내 TBT의 농도범위는 14.2~1204 ng Sn $g^{-1}$ dry wt이었고, dibutyltin은 19.5~980 ng Sn $g^{-1}$ dry wt을 보였다. BTs의 가장 높은 농도는 대형조선소 부근에서 조사되었고, 다음으로 높은 농도는 울산항 컨테이너선 정박지 부근에서 조사되었다. 이것은 울산만에서 TBT의 가장 중요한 배출원은 선박활동을 포함한 해운산업과 관련 있음을 의미한다. 2003년, 2009년, 2011년의 BTs 농도를 비교한 결과, 퇴적물 내 TBT 농도는 유의한 수준으로 감소하고 있어서 국내 사용규제에 따른 저감 효과가 울산만에서도 나타나고 있었다. 해수와 생물내 농도감소는 보고된 적이 있지만, 규제 이후 퇴적물에서 유기주석화합물의 농도감소는 이번 연구에서 처음 보고되는 결과이다. 하지만, 퇴적물 내 BTs의 잔류수준은 생물학적 영향농도보다 높은 수준이었다. 따라서 울산만에서 유기주석화합물로 인한 오염에 대한 저감노력과 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다.
