Intersex, or the presence of oocytes in the testes, has been documented in fish following
exposure to wastewater effluent and estrogenic compounds. However, the molecular …

Extensive studies have shown that estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can
disrupt testis differentiation and even cause feminization in vertebrates. However, little is …

Abstract 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE 2) is a ubiquitous aquatic contaminant shown to decrease
fish fertility at low concentrations, especially in fish exposed during development. The …

This study explored the possibility that environmental estrogens in sewage effluent may
reduce the reproductive fitness of adult male fish by suppressing their reproductive …

The widespread use of the synthetic estrogen 17 α-ethinylestradiol (EE 2) has resulted in
elevated levels in aquatic environments, where it is known to act as an endocrine disrupting …

Environmental contaminants that mimic native estrogens (ie, environmental estrogens) are
known to significantly impact a wide range of vertebrate species and have been implicated …

Estrogenic chemicals in the aquatic environment have been shown to cause a variety of
reproductive anomalies in fish including full sex reversal, intersex, and altered population …

Endocrine disruptors, including environmental estrogens, have been shown to induce
heritable effects through both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in mammals. Despite this …

Estrogenic contaminants released into water bodies are potentially affecting the
reproduction of aquatic organisms. Exposure to 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic …

Environmental estrogens are ubiquitous in the environment and can cause detrimental
effects on male reproduction. In fish, a multitude of effects from environmental estrogens …
