Exposure of fish to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has consistently been shown to
have a negative impact on reproduction (eg decreased spawning success, decreased …

There is increasing evidence that toxicant exposure can alter DNA methylation profile, one
of the main epigenetic mechanisms, particularly during embryogenesis when DNA …

Background: Chlorinated phosphate esters (CPEs) are widely used as additive flame
retardants for low-density polyurethane foams and have frequently been detected at …

Halogenated agonists for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), such as 3, 3′, 4, 4′, 5-
pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) and 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), cause …

A selection of four PCB congeners (PCB# 60, PCB# 104, PCB# 173 and PCB# 190) and
estradiol 17-β were tested on zebrafish for their effect on early embryo development. The …

Bisphenol-A bis (diphenyl phosphate)(BDP) has been increasingly detected in indoor
environmental and human samples. Little is known about its developmental toxicity …

Bisphenol S (BPS) is extensively used for production of polycarbonates and other
commodities, and is often detected in environment and biota. Parental BPS exposure has …

Bisphenol A (BPA), is a common contaminant in diverse environmental compartments and
its endocrine disruptive effect on living organisms has been widely reported. Further works …

DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications involved in the
regulation of gene expression. The DNA methylation reaction is catalyzed by DNA …

The binding affinity of bisphenol A (BPA) to estrogen receptors (ERs) is much lower than that
of 17β-estradiol (E 2), and whether there are other molecular mechanisms responsible for …
