In order to observe the toxic effects of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) on Danio rerio, the mRNA transcription of AChE, SOD, CYP4501A in Danio rerio brain and muscle were studied in this paper. Zebrafish were exposed to different BBP concentrations (0, 0.332, 0.665, 1.33 mg-L^-1). The results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR indicated that, both in brain and muscle, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene expression showed a overall downward trend, and at 0.665 mg-L^-1 concentration group was significantly inhibited (p <;0.01); Superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expression was first decreased and then increased; Cytochrome P450 (CYP450 1A) gene expression in brain was first increased and then decreased, while it was first decreased and then increased in muscle, this difference may be related to the differencial distribution of CYP4501A in vivo.
