Prior Exposure to Estrogen Enabled Bass to Better Survive A Bacterial Infection, but With an Energetic Price Tag
Summary of the published study: Exposure to 17α-ethinylestradiol results in differential susceptibility of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) to bacterial infection (Leet et al. in review)
Using Effects-Directed Analysis to test for Endocrine-Active Chemicals
Effects-directed analysis (EDA) reverse-engineers environmental toxicity testing by measuring effects on cells first, and identifying the particular chemicals later. In this publication, we reviewed published information on EDA methods to improve future methods.
Effects of Early Life Stage Exposure of Largemouth Bass to Atrazine or a Model Estrogen (17α-Ethinylestradiol)
Early development is a sensitive window for estrogenic endocrine disruption in largemouth bass. Atrazine treatments caused changes to gene expression patterns that were both similar to estrogen and distinct from estrogen.
