Xenoestrogens (XEs) mimic or block the synthesis, metabolism and transport of normal
endogenous hormones, disturbing normal endocrine function. The available data on the …

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may mimic the endogenous neuroendocrine and
endocrine messengers and interfere with developmental, reproductive, immune, metabolic …

The potential impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the aquatic environment
has driven the development of screening assays to evaluate the estrogenic properties of …

Bisphenol A (BPA), a representative endocrine disrupting compound, exists ubiquitously in
the aquatic environment. Several studies on fish have validated the role of BPA in the lipid …

The monogonont rotifer Brachionus spp. have been widely used for ecotoxicological studies
because of their advantages as one of the most suitable laboratory experimental species. In …

The hormone 17β-estradiol (E 2) can be found in rivers, effluents, and even drinking water.
Researches have demonstrated that E 2 affects various metabolic pathways through gene …

Abstract The 17α-methyltestosterone (MT), a synthetic androgen, is known for its
interference effects on the endocrine system. Aiming to investigate the transcriptome …

Xenoestrogens (XEs) are a class of substances that exert estrogenic effects by mimicking or
blocking endogenous hormones. The sources, environmental behavior, and fate of typical …

Both cytochrome P450c17 (CYP17A1) and P-450 side chain cleavage (CYP11A1) play
important roles in steroid biosynthesis. According to our previous studies, bisphenol A (BPA) …

Bisphenol A (BPA), an ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor chemical, disturbs the
mRNA expressions of steroidogenic genes and subsequently steroid hormone synthesis in …
