Endocrine Abstracts

Small fish are excellent experimental models to screen endocrine-disrupting compounds, but current fish-based assays to detect endocrine disruption have not been standardized yet, meaning that there is not consensus on endpoints and biomarkers to be measured. Moreover, exposure conditions may vary depending on the species used as the experimental model or the endocrine pathway evaluated. Another drawback is the fact that most methods to detect endocrine disruption rely on the ...
