DNA adduct formation of 7,1 2-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) in vivo in the Japanese medaka embryo were investigated using {sup 32}P-postlabeling analysis. 1-compounds (endogenous adducts) were not observed in the Japanese medaka embryo on days 4 (prior to liver formation), 6 (liver/swim bladder) or 10 (prior to hatch) of development. The level of DMBA:DNA adducts were concentration-dependent over the range of 0.625 ppm (Total Adducts 0.05707 pmol/mg of DNA) to 2.50 ppm (0.43341 pmol/mg of DNA) and decreased at 5.00 ppm (0.25338 pmol/mg of DNA) after medaka embryos were exposed to DMBA for 6 days from the day of fertilization. The decrease in DMBA:DNA adducts at 5.00 ppm was probably due to embryo toxicity (78% death). The level of DMBA:DNA adducts formed from the embryos exposed to DMBA for 24 hr decreased as the stage of development increased: day 4 > day 6 > day 10; 0.0262, 0.0179, 0.0129 pmol/mg of DNA, respectively. The level of DMBA:DNA adducts increased as the length of exposure increased: 4 day < 6 day < 10 day; 0.0233, 0.0614, 0.1502, respectively. There was both a time and dose dependence to the number of adducts detected. The data presented demonstrated the development of DM BA-DNA adducts in the developing Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) and the lack of I-compounds.
