Effects of endocrine disruption by 4-nonylphenol ethoxylate on the grwoth preformance and immune responses of female and male immature Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio)
Nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine disrupting chemical which has been shown to be able to modulate endocrine system of various organisms by different mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential effects of 4-NP and 17-β-estradiol (E2) on immune parameters (IgM level and lysozyme activity) of Koi carp (Cyprinus the carpio carpio) in an attempt to expand the knowledg...
متن کاملEndocrine disrupting chemicals, phthalic acid and nonylphenol, activate Pregnane X receptor-mediated transcription.
Recently, Pregnane X receptor (PXR), a new member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, was shown to mediate the effects of several steroid hormones, such as progesterone, glucocorticoid, pregnenolone, and xenobiotics on cytochrome P450 3A genes (CYP3A) through the specific DNA sequence for CYP3A, suggesting that PXR may play a role in steroid hormone metabolism. In this paper, we demonstrated t...
متن کاملEffects of 4-nonylphenol on oxidant/antioxidant balance system inducing hepatic steatosis in male rat
An emerging literature suggests that early life exposure to 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), a widespread endocrine disrupting chemical, may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that intraperitoneal administration of 4-NP induces hepatic steatosis in rat. 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered with 4-NP (0, 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg b.wt) in corn oil for 3...
متن کاملReport on the Test Results of Endocrine Disrupting Effects of Nonylphenol on Fish (Draft)
1. Background In its SPPED (Strategic Programs on Environmental Endocrine Disrupters) ’98 1) published in May, 1998, Japanese Environment Agency, now Ministry of the Environment (MoE), listed 67 substances suspected to have endocrine disrupting effects. Since then, national environmental field surveys have been carried out by MoE. In October 1999, the meeting of Advisory Committee on Environmen...
متن کاملMobilization of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and estrogenic activity in simulated rainfall runoff from land-applied biosolids.
Municipal biosolids are commonly applied to land as soil amendment or fertilizer as a form of beneficial reuse of what could otherwise be viewed as waste. Balanced against this benefit are potential risks to groundwater and surface water quality from constituents that may be mobilized during storm events. The objective of the present study was to characterize the mobilization of selected endocr...
