Tebuconazole is widely used as fungicide and has frequently been detected at elevated concentrations in environmental media. To characterize the potential toxicity of tebuconazole on vertebrate and humans. Using zebrafish as a vertebrate model, the toxic effects in liver that produced by low-toxic concentrations of tebuconazole were assessed in adult zebrafish. We further focused on tebuconazole-induced toxicity and its possible mechanism in larval zebrafish using a hepatotoxicity assay. The induction of oxidative stress in adult fish was evaluated by superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity, and the increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio. Significantly increased enzyme activity was observed in the liver of male and female fish at both exposure and depuration stage. Exposure to maximum non-lethal (MNLC) concentration of tebuconazole from 72 to 120 h post-fertilization (hpf) affected the liver size and yolk retention in larval zebrafish. Decreased fluorescence intensity was observed in larval Tg(Apo14:GFP) zebrafish, indicating liver degeneration after tebuconazole treated. Histopathological examination confirmed the alterations in liver histoarchitecture in exposed zebrafish. Significant 1.28-fold and 1.65-fold increases in reactive oxygen species levels were observed in juveniles exposed to MNLC and lethal concentration 10 (LC10) group, respectively. The acridine orange staining assay showed that apoptotic cells occurred in the liver regions. These results indicated that tebuconazole exposure resulted in impacts on the ecological risk in fish and vertebrate. Overall, the present study suggested further research in needed to better understand the tebuconazole-induced toxicity mechanism that associated with oxidative stress. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
