Aquatic and terrestrial environments are increasingly contaminated by anthropogenic
sources that include pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and industrial and …

The maintenance of intestinal renewal and repair mainly depends on intestinal stem cells
(ISCs), which can also contribute to the growth of intestinal tumours. Hormones, which are …

Chinese toad (Bufo gargarizans) were exposed to different concentrations of cadmium (5,
50, 100, 200 and 500 μg Cd L− 1) from Gosner stage 3–42. Metamorphosis rate, body …

A hormone-dependent developmental transition from aquatic to terrestrial existence occurs
in all tetrapod vertebrates, such as birth, hatching, and metamorphosis. Thyroid hormones …

Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate neurodevelopment, thus TH disruption is widely posited as
a mechanism of developmental neurotoxicity for diverse environmental chemicals. Zebrafish …

Anuran metamorphosis is characterized by profound morphological changes including
remodeling of tissues and organs. This transition is initiated by thyroid hormones (THs) …

Environmental contamination of aquatic ecosystems by pollutants is among the major
causes of the decline of amphibian populations. At all life stages, amphibians are highly …

High throughput in vitro, in silico, and computational approaches have identified numerous
environmental chemicals that interfere with thyroid hormone (TH) activity, and it is posited …

We examined the Pb 2+ exposure on tadpoles of Bufo gargarizans from Gosner stage 26–
42. Mortality, growth and development, time to metamorphosis, size, and skeletal ossification …

Thyroid hormone (TH) is critical for vertebrate postembryonic development as well as
embryonic development. Chinese toad (Bufo gargarizans) embryos were exposed to …
