The biotransformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the biochemical
mechanisms involved in such process continue to be intensively studied in the fields of …

This review paper aims to analyze studies conducted over recent years (2011–2021) on
hydrocarbon pollution in the Danube's Romanian sector. This involves looking at three main …

This study investigates the toxicity of methanolic extracts obtained from compostable plastics
(BPs) and conventional plastics (both virgin and recycled). Additionally, it explores the …

Sediments represent a critical compartment of marine coastal ecosystems due to the toxic
and long-lasting effects of the contaminants buried therein. Here, we investigated the …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most toxic and bioavailable
components found in petroleum and represent a high risk to aquatic organisms. The aryl …

We studied interactions between polar bear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor
gamma (pbPPARG) and selected compounds using a luciferase reporter assay and …

There is increasing awareness that exposure to endocrine disrupters interferes with lipid
homeostasis in vertebrates, including fish. Many of these compounds exert their action by …

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates
the toxicity of halogenated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in vertebrates. Atlantic cod …

The widespread use of bisphenol A (BPA) in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins has
made it a prevalent environmental pollutant in aquatic ecosystems. BPA poses a significant …

A battery of cell-based bioassays, including PLHC-1 cells, zebrafish-Pxr-transfected COS-7
cells and estrogen receptor-recombinant yeast assay (ER-RYA), were applied to detect the …
