title: In vivo subacute physiological stress induced by phenolic compounds on acid and alkaline phosphatases in serum of a fish, Notopterus notopterus.
abstract: The in vivo effects of phenol (P), dinitrophenol (DNP), pentachlorophenol (PCP), and their combinations--antagonistic [(PCP + DNP)/P], additive [(DNP + P)/PCP] and synergistic [(P + DNP)/PCP] [18]--on acid and alkaline phosphatases in serum of Notopterus notopterus have been studied at three subacute levels (1/10, 1/15 and 1/20 of 96-h LC50) after 15 and 30 days of exposure. Stimulation in acid phosphatase was more pronounced than in alkaline phosphatase when the fish were exposed to P, DNP, PCP and (P + DNP)/PCP for both time intervals. In (PCP + DNP)/P and (DNP + P)/PCP, however, the stimulation was greater in alkaline phosphatase.
