Abstract excerpt
Several endocrine-disrupting chemicals with estrogenic activity can affect sexual development and reproduction in aquatic wildlife. The occurrence of oocytes in the testis (testis-ova) is one reproductive disorder and can be used as a valid endpoint when studying disruptive effects of estrogenic chemicals. To elucidate the molecular basis of testis-ova induction, we conducted gene expression analysis in the...
