Abnormal Ovarian DNA Methylation Programming during Gonad Maturation in Wild Contaminated Fish
19 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence that pollutants may cause diseases via epigenetic modifications. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation participate in the regulation of gene transcription. Surprisingly, epigenetics research is still limited in ecotoxicology. In this study, we investigated whether chronic exposure to contaminants experienced by wild female fish (Anguilla anguilla) throughout their juvenile...
