Abstract:  In order to evaluate the toxic effect of TCDD on fish liver, Jian carp were randomly divided into 6 groups (30 fish for each group) including a control group. The treated fish were injected with TCDD(01, 03, 06, 12, 24 μg·kg-1, respectively). The control group had no TCDD injection, but was injected the same volume of DMSO. The blood and fish liver were collected at 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 h after injection, respectively, and the expression levels of LDH, GPT, GOT in Jian carp serum and GSH\|Px, GST, T\|AOC activity in liver homogenates were determined. It was shown that, after injection with TCDD for 72 h, GOT, GPT, LDH activities were significantly increased (P<001 or P<005), while GST, GSH\|Px, T\|AOC activities were significantly decreased (P<001 or P<005), indicating that TCDD could induce serious damage on fish liver and cause oxidative stress reaction in Jian carp after acute exposure.
