Gene expression analysis is changing the way that we look at toxicity, allowing toxicologists
to perform parallel analyses of entire transcriptomes. While this technology is not as …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are constitutively expressed in cells and involved in protein
folding, assembly, degradation, intracellular localization, etc, acting as molecular …

This review discusses various methodologies that can be used to understand, at the gene
level, the consequences to fish upon exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) …

The Antarctic fishes, isolated over evolutionary history in the sub-zero waters of the Southern
Ocean, are an ideal group for studying the processes of cold adaptation. One species of …

Ultrastructural and physiological effects of exposure to 1 ppm and 5 ppm of cadmium (Cd)
on cultured cells of Koliella antarctica, a green microalga from Antarctica, were investigated …

In aquatic organisms, cadmium exposure occurs from ovum to death and the route of
absorption is particularly wide, being represented by skin, gills and gastrointestinal tract …

Inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain and induction of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) production are one of the roots of cadmium (Cd) toxicity. To appreciate the …

Hypoxia and toxic metals are two common stressors found in the estuarine environment. To
date little information is available on the combined effects of these stressors on early larval …

The messenger RNA (mRNA) differential display technique was applied to the identification
and isolation of genes whose transcription was altered in leaves of Prunus armeniaca …

The present report is an attempt to investigate the influence of intraperitoneal and dietary
cadmium exposure on the distribution of cadmium accumulation and induction of …
