| bile metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in three species of fish from the severn estuary. | six metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) were identified and quantified from the bile of 31 common eels (anguilla anguilla), 29 european flounders (pleuronectes flesus), and 15 conger eels (conger conger) collected from the severn estuary and bristol channel during 1997. the bile metabolites were deconjugated by enzymatic hydrolysis and separated by reverse-phase hplc with fluorescence detection. the major metabolite present in all fish was 1-hydroxy pyrene (75-94% of all metab ... | 2002 | 11886183 |
