A combination of previous studies and the present study indicated species-specific debromination of polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in teleost fish. Three situations of debromination were found, namely rapid debromination represented by debromination of BDE 99 to BDE 47 observed in common carp, tilapia, crucian carp, and oscar fish; slow debromination represented by debromination of BDE 99 to BDE 49 observed in the abovementioned fish and rainbow trout, salmon, and snakehead; and no or minor debromination observed in catfish. The results of experiments on cofactors, inhibitors, and substrate competitors indicated that activities of outer ring deiodinase of 3, 3′, 5′-triiodothyronine (type I deiodinase), which cannot be inhibited by 6-propyl-2-thiouracil, were responsible for the rapid debromination, and the outer ring deiodinase of thyroxine (type II deiodinase) regulated the slow debromination. The debromination of BDE 99 to BDE 49 was more common, but occurred at a much lower rate (approximately 100 times lower) than the debromination of BDE 99 to BDE 47. This was because the activity of type II deiodinase was nearly two orders of magnitude lower than that of type I deiodinase in the fish species studied. Further studies on debromination of PBDEs and properties of deiodinase in more species are needed to confirm the hypothesis.
