Over the past 25 years, extensive research in vertebrate species has identified several
genomic pathways altered by exposures to anthropogenic chemicals with hormone-like …

Ability of environmental stressors to induce transgenerational diseases has been
experimentally demonstrated in plants, worms, fish, and mammals, indicating that exposures …

Previous studies have shown that juvenile or adult exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) induces alterations in reproductive functions (eg, reduced fertilization rate) and …

The sexual plasticity of the gonads is not retained after the completion of sex differentiation
in vertebrates, except in some hermaphroditic species. Here, we report that the depletion of …

Exposure to estrogenic chemicals discharged into the aquatic environment has been shown
to induce feminization in wild freshwater fish and although fish species have been reported …

Both diethylstilbestrol (DES, an environmental estrogen) and flutamide (FLU, an anti-
androgen) are found to impair spermatogenesis by disrupting hypothalamic-pituitary …

Anti-Müllerian hormone (amh), an important regulator of gonad development in male
teleosts, regulates the development and differentiation of germ cells. We performed …

Tribulus terrestrisis a plant that has been introduced in aquaculture as a inducer for
masculinization and stimulating growth in fish. This study has investigated the effect of the …

The branched isomer mixture 4‐nonylphenol (4‐NP) has been used worldwide as a
surfactant, and can have endocrine‐disrupting effects on aquatic organisms. For instance, 4 …

In fish, spermatogenesis and somatic growth are mainly regulated by hypothalamic-pituitary-
gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic-pituitary-somatic (HPS) axes, respectively. Xenoestrogens …
