Globally, amphibians are undergoing a precipitous decline. At the last estimate in 2004,
32% of the approximately 6000 species were threatened with extinction and 43% were …

Most biochemical effects of organotin compounds leading to toxicity are astonishingly similar
in different animal species. In vitro tests, designed to explore organotin action modes at cell …

Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an obesogen associated with various metabolic and
reproductive dysfunctions after in utero exposure. However, few studies have evaluated …

Endocrine disruption is considered a highly relevant hazard for environmental risk
assessment of chemicals, plant protection products, biocides and pharmaceuticals …

Tributyltin (TBT) compounds are active constituents of organotin antifouling paints which
were used to prevent the growth of 'fouling'organisms on marine structures and vessels …

Since it is known that environmental contaminants have the potential to cause endocrine
disorders in humans and animals, there is an urgent need for in vivo tests to assess possible …

Tributyltin (TBT) chloride is an endocrine disrupting chemical associated with reproductive
complications. Studies have shown that TBT targets the reproductive tract, impairing ovarian …

Morphological malformations induced by tributyltin (TBT) exposure during embryonic
development have already been characterized in various taxonomic groups, but …

In this study, we have identified several ovarian steroids in Ciona with high similarity to
vertebrate steroids and showed that cholesterol, corticosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone …

Dibutyltin (DBT) is an organotine widely applied in stabilizing plastics and de-worm poultry
agents. But the effects of DBT on immature Leydig cells remain elusive. Thus, the present …
