Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are synthetic or natural chemical molecules occurring in
environment that have the potential to impart adverse effects on homeostasis of endocrine …

The failure of the swim bladder to inflate during fish development is a common and sensitive
response to exposure to petrochemicals. Here, we review potential mechanisms by which …

Chapter 3 in toxicology of fishes addresses the occurrence, regulation, and catalytic
activities of biotransformation systems in fish and concludes with a focus on three model …

Environmental exposure to crude oil and/or its derivatives in fishes can negatively impact
survival, morphology and physiology, but relatively little focus has been on behavior …

Abstract Benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) has become an integral component of disposed of plastic
waste, organic pollutants, and remnants of combustible materials in the aquatic environment …

The carcinogenicity and developmental toxicity of unrefined mineral oil is related to its 3–7
ring polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) content. Therefore, refining operations focus on …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of embryonic short-term exposure to
benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, on ovarian development …

Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are prevalent in the environment, typically found in
complex mixtures and high concentrations. Our understanding of the effects of PACs …

Aromatase (Cyp19a1) is the steroidogenic enzyme that converts androgens into bioactive
estrogens, and hence is in a pivotal position to mediate reproduction and sexual behavior. In …

Teleost fish are known to express two isoforms of P450 aromatase, a key enzyme for
estrogen synthesis. One of the isoforms, brain aromatase (AroB), cyp19a1b, is highly …
