In this paper, evidence from the current literature is presented that addresses either of two
questions: 1) do EDCs in the aquatic environment have the potential to impact the …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) enter aquatic ecosystems through discharged
effluents, mainly from wastewater treatment works and diffuse run off from land, and affect a …

This book celebrates the guppy's unique contribution to evolutionary ecology. Ever since
Caryl Haskins described guppy populations as a'natural experiment'because of the way …

Abstract Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), particularly those that affect the
hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis of vertebrates, have become a focus of …

Environmental anti-androgens are increasingly being recognized as potential contributing
factors in the chemically induced feminization of wild fish because, by blocking androgen …

Widespread occurrence of traces of pharmaceuticals (ng/L to μg/L) has been reported in
aquatic systems. However, their effects on the environment and their environmental risks …

The pregnane X-receptor (PXR) and the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) are orphan
nuclear receptors activated by a variety of ligands. Currently it remains uncertain whether …

Anthropogenic releases of plastics, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and heavy metals
can impact the environment, including aquatic ecosystems. Nanoplastics (NPs) have …

The current study was designed to examine the actions of a model endocrine disruptor on
embryonic testis development and male fertility. Pregnant rats (F0) that received a transient …

Environmental contaminants have been identified as endocrine disruptors through their
antiandrogenic activity. Thus, as androgen receptor antagonists, the fungicide vinclozolin …
