In this study the elimination kinetics of several chlorinated anilines and a tetrachlorobenzene in guppy, Poecilia reticulata, have been determined. The elimination of all the chlorinated anilines in fish showed a bi-phasic pattern, whereas the elimination characteristics of the tetrachlorobenzene are in agreement with a one-compartment model. Elimination of the chlorinated anilines is faster than elimination of the tetrachlorobenzene. The small differences in octanol-water partition coefficient of these compounds can only in part describe the differences in elimination rate. The observed differences might be attributed to differing biotransformation rates.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011036 Poecilia A genus of livebearing cyprinodont fish comprising the guppy and molly. Some species are virtually all female and depend on sperm from other species to stimulate egg development. Poecilia is used in carcinogenicity studies as well as neurologic and physiologic research. Guppy,Lebistes,Molly,Guppies,Mollies,Poecilias
