The detection of low levels of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments has lately raised concerns regarding possible adverse effects of these highly active substances on aquatic organisms. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) is one of the pharmaceutical substances regularly detected in surface waters and has lately been demonstrated to elicit adverse effects in salmonid species at environmentally relevant concentrations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution of DCF in indigenous brown trout (Salmo trutta f. fario) following intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a single dose of (14)C-labelled DCF. A distribution kinetic over 36 h provides information on possible accumulation of DCF in different organs as well as on DCF detoxification in trout, possibly enabling identification of sites of preferential toxicity. Approximately 57% of the total single DCF dose appeared in the bile 6 h after i.p. application. Subsequently, DCF was observed to undergo enterohepatic cycling with an amount of (14)C-activity comparable to the 6 h bile values reappearing in bile 36 h after application. Results for (14)C-activity in intestine and pylori support the observation of enterohepatic cycling with a small peak in intestine at 3 h post i.p. injection and a low peak in intestine and pylori at 6 h post i.p. injection, reflecting presence of the drug substance in bile. The highest activity in intestine was found 24 h post-injection coinciding with low levels in bile, followed by a gradual decrease of activity in intestine mirroring the re-uptake of DCF into bile. The finding of enterohepatic cycling of DCF in brown trout is suggestive of a prolonged retention of DCF in brown trout.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D014337 Trout Various fish of the family SALMONIDAE, usually smaller than salmon. They are mostly restricted to cool clear freshwater. Some are anadromous. They are highly regarded for their handsome colors, rich well-flavored flesh, and gameness as an angling fish. The genera Salvelinus, Salmo, and ONCORHYNCHUS have been introduced virtually throughout the world. Chars,Salvelinus,Char
