    This study presents a novel fluorometric method for analyzing UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity in rainbow trout. The method accurately determines kinetic constants using weighted regression and computer simulations for reliable confidence intervals.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Environmental Toxicology
    • Aquatic Animal Health

    Background:

    • UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes are crucial for xenobiotic metabolism in fish.
    • Assessing UGT activity is vital for understanding pollutant effects and drug metabolism in aquatic species.
    • Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are a key model organism in ecotoxicology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a robust analytical method for quantifying UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity.
    • To determine kinetic parameters of UGT activity in rainbow trout hepatic microsomes.
    • To establish a reliable method for assessing enzyme kinetics and confidence intervals.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 1-naphthol as a substrate for UGT activity analysis.
