The authors review the current data on the presence and reported biological effects in fish of
some of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment; namely …

Blood sampling through the caudal vasculature is a widely used technique in fish biology for
investigating organismal health and physiology. In live fishes, it can provide a quick, easy …

Objective Because the environmental fate of manufactured nanoparticles is considered an
emerging environmental concern, I used water-suspended fluorescent nanoparticles (solid …

A wide range of environmental contaminants can interfere with hormonal regulation in
vertebrates. These endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of high relevance for human …

Although estrogens have been generally considered to play a critical role in ovarian
differentiation in non-mammalian vertebrates, the specific functions of estrogens during …

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 …

Water pollution due to plasticizers is one of the most severe environmental problems
worldwide. Phthalate plasticizers can act as endocrine disruptors in vertebrates. In this …

Introduction: increased consumption of pharmaceuticals has been reported to cause a high
level of their discharge into the environment, and even small quantities in the environment …

This review discusses the potential contribution of phytoestrogens and mycoestrogens to in
vitro estrogenic activities occurring in surface waters and in vivo estrogenic effects in fish …

The pharmaceutical estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and the anabolic androgen 17β-
trenbolone (Tb) can interfere with the endocrine and reproductive systems of fish. The …
