摘要

Trenbolone acetate is a growth promoter widely used for beef production in the U.S.Two biologically active metabolites of the acetate,17beta-and 17alpha-trenbolone,are ligands of vertebrate androgen receptors and comparatively stable in the waste of treated animals.Both have been detected in surface water associated with beef feedlots,suggesting a potential risk to aquatic animals.In previous work we evaluated the effects of beta-trenbolone on reproductive endocrinology of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)in a 21-day test.The purpose of the present study was to conduct a similar set of experiments with alpha-trenbolone which,based on binding to mammalian androgen receptors,was expected to be less potent than beta-trenbolone.Fecundity of the fish was significantly reduced by alpha-trenbolone with an EC50 (95% confidence interval)of 0.011 (0.007-0.016)mu g/L.In females,alpha-trenbolone reduced plasma vitellogenin and steroid concentrations and also induced the production of dorsal nuptial tubercles,structures normally present only in spawning males.Overall,effects of alpha-trenbolone on the reproductive system of the fish were qualitatively and quantitatively quite similarto those caused by beta-trenbolone.Part of this similarity might arise from the fact that a substantial amount of the alpha-trenbolone appeared to be converted to beta-trenbolone by the fish.Tissue concentrations of the beta-isomer were consistently similar to or greater than concentrations of alpha-trenbolone,despite the fact that no beta-trenbolone was detected in the exposure water.The present study demonstrates the importance of considering both alpha-and beta-trenbolone in assessing the potential ecological risk of androgens associated with beef feedlot discharges.
