Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised and updated with 18 new chapters, this second edition includes contributions from over 75 international experts. Also, a Technical Review Board reviewed all manuscripts for accuracy and currency. Focusing on toxic substance and how they affect the ecosystems worldwide, the book presents methods for quantifying and measuring ecotoxicological effects in the field and in the lab, as well as methods for estimating, predicting, and modeling in ecotoxicology studies. This is the definitive reference for students, researchers, consultants, and other professionals in the environmental sciences, toxicology, chemistry, biology, and ecology - in academia, industry, and government.

Book Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates Volume 1

Download or read book Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates Volume 1 written by David Norris and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature, and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative names is provided. A complete, essential and up to date reference for research scientists working on vertebrate hormones and reproduction - and on animlals as models in human reproductive research Covers the endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behaviour and anatomy of vertebrate reproduction Structured coverage of the major themes for all five vertebrate groups allows a consistent treatment for all Special chapters elaborate on features specific to individual vertebrate groups and to comparative aspects, similarities and differences between them

Book Effects of P P DDE on Reproduction and Biomarkers of Endocrine Disruption in Fathead Minnows Pimephales Promelas

Download or read book Effects of P P DDE on Reproduction and Biomarkers of Endocrine Disruption in Fathead Minnows Pimephales Promelas written by Elizabeth Jordan Ray and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male GSI of offspring of adults exposed to 104.25 microgram / g feed was significantly higher than any other group. GSI in adult males was inversely related to the number of eggs spawned per female. These data have important implications for the effects of in ovo exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds. Further, data such as these can be used to model the population growth rates and relate them to biomarkers, such as GSI, of exposure to endocrine disrupting compound.

Book Effects of Environmental Estrogens on Reproductive Biology of the Fathead Minnow

Download or read book Effects of Environmental Estrogens on Reproductive Biology of the Fathead Minnow written by Robert Bruce Bringolf and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, environmental estrogens have been recognized as an important environmental threat. Wastewater of 10 aerated lagoon treatment facilities in Iowa was evaluated for estrogenic activity using a short-term caged fathead minnow exposure and a plasma vitellogenin (Vtg) assay. Plasma Vtg results indicated that wastewater entering the three-lagoon systems was estrogenic to male fish, but with serial passage through the lagoons, the estrogenic activity decreased to a level that was not sufficient to induce vitellogenesis. Wastewater retention time in the lagoons may have been a key treatment factor. Feral fathead minnows captured at aerated lagoon wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) exhibited plasma Vtg trends similar to those of the caged fish. Incidence of ovotestes in feral fish was low (1 of 65; 1.5%) and similar to that of fathead minnows captured at a reference site (national wildlife refuge). The results of both the caged and feral fish studies indicate that effluents from aerated lagoon WWTFs are low in estrogenic activity, but that raw wastewater was estrogenic to fish. Thus, the potential exists for release of estrogenic effluents from these systems if the treatment is not complete. The plasma Vtg response of male fish exposed to estradiol for 10 days was dose-dependent and predictable (R2=0.988) through the range of estradiol exposure concentrations tested. The lowest observed effects concentration (LOEC) for induction of plasma Vtg was 50 ng/L. The dose-response curve from this study may be used in conjunction with exposure of male fish to surface water or wastewater to estimate the magnitude of the estrogenic potency of the water in terms of "estradiol equivalents." Atrazine did not cause overt reproductive toxicity to adult fathead minnows in a short-term reproduction assay. However, decreasing trends in relative testis weight, testis maturity, and percent embryo fertilization suggest that further investigation is warranted. Nearly all endpoints concerning fish exposed to estradiol (positive control) were significantly different from atrazine-exposed fish and control fish. The results suggest that atrazine did not have strong estrogenic effects and did not cause endocrine system disruption in fathead minnows at environmentally relevant concentrations.
