Background Odontocete cetaceans occupy the top position of the marine food-web and are
particularly sensitive to the bioaccumulation of lipophilic contaminants. The effects of
environmental pollution on these species are highly debated and various ecotoxicological
studies have addressed the impact of xenobiotic compounds on marine mammals, raising
conservational concerns. Despite its sensitivity, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) has
never been used to quantify gene induction caused by exposure of cetaceans to …
