Application

7-Ethoxyresorufin (7-ER) is a substrate used in environmental toxicology studies to monitor ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase catalytic activity in the EROD assay. The EROD assay monitors the induction of the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1 and is a widely used biomarker for exposure of wildlife to substances that bind the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor. It provides evidence of receptor-mediated induction of cytochrome P450-dependant monooxygenases (the CYP1A subfamily specifically) by xenobiotic chemicals.

Increasing frequency and intensity of flood events are major concerns in the context of climate change. In addition to the direct hydrological implications of such events, potential ecotoxicological impacts are of increasing interest. It is vital to understand mechanisms of

Avian-specific toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) were developed by the World Health Organization to simplify environmental risk assessments of dioxin-like compounds (DLCs), but TEFs do not account for differences in the toxic and biochemical potencies of DLCs among species of birds.

A fluorescence-microscopic method has been developed for measurement of the intracellular kinetics of the cytochrome P-450 reaction, ethoxyresorufin O-de-ethylation, in individual hepatocytes in unfixed non-frozen liver sections obtained from control or 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated mice. De-ethylation was enhanced in the presence of

An assay was characterized that facilitated per-cell estimation of cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase activities in whole-cell suspensions and cultures of murine epidermal keratinocytes (MEKs). 7-Ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (7-ECD), 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (7-ERD), and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-deethylase (7-PRD) activities were monitored by fluorescent detection of
