  1. 1. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Maria Revenikioti; [2023]
    Keywords : Endocrine-disrupting chemical EDC ; Environmental pollutants; Endocrine disruption ED ; Developmental neurotoxicity DNT ; Development; Zebrafish embryos; Estradiol; DHT; BPF; PFOS.;

    Abstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE
