Co-exposure to enrofloxacin and atrazine enhances the hepatotoxicity in Larimichthys crocea by targeting the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid and gut-liver axes.

Enrofloxacin (ENR) and atrazine (ATZ) are common co-contaminants in marine environments. Although the immunosuppressive effects of ENR and the endocrine-disrupting properties of ATZ are well established, the combined effects of these pollutants on hepatotoxicity, particularly concerning the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) and gut-liver axes, remain poorly understood. In this study, Larimichthys crocea was exposed to ENR and ATZ at environmentally relevant concentrations, individually and in combination, to investigate the hepatotoxicity.
