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

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are widespread in the aquatic environment and
can cause alterations in development, physiological homeostasis and health of vertebrates …

A number of chemicals present in the environment have been shown to mimic or antagonize
the actions of steroid hormones, an issue often described as “endocrine …

Studies worldwide have demonstrated the occurrence of feminized male fish at sites
impacted by human and animal wastes. A variety of chemicals could contribute to this …

Exposure of wildlife to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is not necessarily continuous.
Due to seasonal changes and variable industrial and agricultural activities it often occurs …

The aim of this study was to identify periods in zebrafish (Danio rerio) development when
estrogen exposure has long-term consequences on reproductive capabilities at the adult …

Estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds (EEDCs), such as ethinylestradiol (EE2), are
well studied for their impact on the reproductive system of fish. EEDCs may also impact the …

The intricate nature of the vertebrate endocrine system creates several challenges that
impede the understanding of the threats that endocrine disrupting substances (EDS) may …

Existing environmental risk assessment procedures are limited in their ability to evaluate the
combined effects of chemical mixtures. We investigated the implications of this by analyzing …

In order to gain basic understanding in the ecotoxicity of endocrine disrupting chemicals or
