Survey of estrogenic activity in United Kingdom estuarine and coastal waters and its effects on gonadal development of the flounder Platichthys flesus
Estrogenic discharges are known or suspected to be present in many United Kingdom estuaries and are also occurring from offshore oil and gas installations. The aim of this study was to establish… Expand

Bile Acid Secreted by Male Sea Lamprey That Acts as a Sex Pheromone
We show that reproductively mature male sea lampreys release a bile acid that acts as a potent sex pheromone, inducing preference and searching behavior in ovulated female lampreys. The secreted bile… Expand

Several synthetic progestins with different potencies adversely affect reproduction of fish.
Synthetic progestins are widely used as a component in both contraceptives and in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), both on their own and in combination with EE2. Their presence in the environment… Expand

Vitellogenesis as a biomarker of reproductive disruption by xenobiotics
There is increasing evidence that many xenobiotic chemicals can reduce the reproductive capacity of fish through disruption of the endocrine system. Hepatic stimulation of vitellogenesis in male and… Expand

The role of the maturation-inducing steroid, 17,20beta-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one, in male fishes: a review.
The major progestin in teleosts is not progesterone, as in tetrapods, but 17,20beta-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (17,20beta-P) or, in certain species, 17,20beta,21-trihydroxy-pregn-4-en-3-one… Expand

Detection of environmental androgens: a novel method based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of spiggin, the stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) glue protein.
We report the development and validation of a novel in vivo biomarker test for waterborne androgens. During breeding, male sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) manufacture a glue protein, spiggin,… Expand

Reproductive responses in fathead minnow and Japanese medaka following exposure to a synthetic progestin, Norethindrone.
Synthetic progestins, such as Norethindrone (NET), are common ingredients in oral contraceptives and in treatment for post-menopausal problems. Given the widespread use of oral contraceptives and… Expand
