A large body of work has established a link between endocrine disrupting compounds
(EDCs) and a number of abnormalities in fishes. However, most EDC studies use several …

Field observations of endocrine disruption (ED) in fish and other aquatic species have
contributed to a global effort to establish test methods for detecting ED effects in wildlife …

Many natural and synthetic compounds present in the environment exert a number of
adverse effects on the exposed organisms, leading to endocrine disruption, for which they …

Exposure to environmental chemicals known as endocrine disruptors (EDs) is in many
cases associated with an unpredictable hazard for wildlife and human health. The …

Biomarkers are currently best used as mechanistic “signposts” rather than as “traffic lights” in
the environmental risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In field …

Background Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals,
many of which can interfere with their endocrine system, resulting in impaired reproduction …

The molecular targets of estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals have been studied in
detail in vertebrates. The lack of basic endocrine knowledge impairs similar approaches for …

This study seeks to delineate the ligand interactions that drive biomarker induction in fish
exposed to estrogenic pollutants and provide a case study on the capacity of human (h) …

The EU-funded project IDEA aimed to evaluate (a) what parameters and endpoints allow the
detection of endocrine-mediated developmental and reproductive effects of (xeno) …

In aquatic toxicology, perhaps no pharmaceutical has been investigated more intensely than
17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2), the active ingredient of the birth control pill. At the turn of the …
