Endocrine disruption in crustaceans: New findings and perspectives
2024, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyInvertebrates facing environmental contamination by endocrine disruptors: Novel evidences and recent insights
2020, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Risk assessment procedures have been using invertebrate models (mainly aquatic species) for long, both to detect potential EDC activities in mixtures, and to gain a basic understanding of the ecological effects of known EDCs. Conversely, field studies demonstrating EDCs effects on invertebrate wild populations and communities are scarcer, in aquatic as well as in terrestrial ecosystems (Amiard and Amiard-Triquet, 2015). In aquatic ecosystems, the most relevant case certainly remains the imposex phenomenon that affects gastropod mollusks living in areas contaminated by organotins: tributyltin [TBT] and triphenyltin [TPT], at levels as low as few ng per liter (DeFur, 1999).
Mytilidae as model organisms in the marine ecotoxicology of pharmaceuticals - A review
2019, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :Low concentrations of these pollutants are detected even in drinking water (Caban et al., 2016; Kasprzyk-Hordern et al., 2008). Another equally important group of pharmaceuticals detected in marine waters are steroidal hormones, which belong to the group of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) (Jean-Claude and Amiard-Triquet, 2015; Santos et al., 2018; Ting et al., 2017). EDCs are chemical compounds whose structure and mode of action is similar to natural hormones.
Multi-generational xenoestrogenic effects of Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) mixture on Oryzias latipes using a flow-through exposure system
2017, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :However, to better understand this process an increased number of test species to reduce variation between treated individuals, application of a wide range of chemical concentrations, and more prolonged chemical exposure for organisms are necessary. Alteration of sex ratio induced by estrogenic chemical can cause the adverse effects in aquatic ecosystem such as fish population collapse, being regarded as one of important markers in environmental risk assessment (Jean-Claude and Amiard-Triquet, 2015; Lee et al., 2015a, 2015b). Previously, estradiol-17β exposure orally caused significant change of sex proportions in C. undecimalis into predominance of female proportions (Carvalho et al., 2014).
