Environmental endocrine disruption – experimental models and assessment
Abstract:
Endocrine disruptors are an important issue in the environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. Toxicity of endocrine disruptors has been studied widely in vitro. This type of toxicity test depends mainly on affinity of toxicants to special receptors, and it can often be evaluated by chemical binding to specific hormone receptors. On the other hand, hormones regulate numerous biological processes and …moreAbstract:
ost sensitive endpoint was the length of roots which is not traditionally evaluated as the major endpoint in standardized assays with L. minor. The results demonstrated that EDCs might affect growth and viability of aquatic plants in relatively low mg/L concentrations, which may be of general concern for ecological risks of these compounds in aquatic environment. The frog embryo teratogenesis assay …more
