Mugilid Fish Are Sentinels of Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Coastal and Estuarine Environments
(MDPI, 2014-09-12)
Effects on fish reproduction can result from a variety of toxicity mechanisms first operating at the molecular level. Notably, the presence in the environment of some compounds termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) ...
Alteration in molecular markers of oocyte development and intersex condition in mullets impacted by wastewater treatment plant effluents
(Elsevier, 2016-06-11)
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) discharges are an important source of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) into the aquatic environment. Fish populations inhabiting downstream of WWTP effluents show alterations in gonad ...
5S rRNA and Accompanying Proteins in Gonads: Powerful Markers to Identify Sex and Reproductive Endocrine Disruption in Fish
(ACS, 2012-06-22)
In anuran ovaries, 5S rDNA is regulated transcriptionally by transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA), which upon transcription, binds 5S rRNA, forming 7S RNP. 5S rRNA can be stockpiled also in the form of 42S RNP bound to 42sp43. ...
