[Combined effects of fluoxetine and triclosan on Pseudorasbora parva.].

We examined the effects of binary mixture of two different pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) on aquatic organisms. The topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva, native to northeast China, was used to study the combined effects of fluoxetine (FLX) and triclosan (TCS) on its different organs. After acute (4 h) and chronic (42 d) treatments, the combined effects of FLX/TCS on phase I and phase II detoxification enzymes, nervous system, digestive system and antioxidant system were evaluated.

Dydrogesterone Causes Male Bias and Accelerates Sperm Maturation in Zebrafish ( Danio rerio).

Synthetic progestins are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. They can enter aquatic environments mainly via wastewater discharge and agricultural runoff, thus affecting fish populations in receiving waters. Here, we investigated the chronic effects of dydrogesterone (DDG) on zebrafish from 21 to 140 days post-fertilization (dpf) at 3.

[Mechanisms of Cr (VI) toxicity to fish in aquatic environment: A review].

With increasing consumption and applications of chromium in metallurgy, electroplating, tanning process and stainless steel industry, chromium contamination has become a global environmental problem. In general, Cr(VI) has higher permeability across the cell membrane than Cr(III) and hence is considered more toxic than Cr(III). Oxidative stress could be induced following reactive oxygen species (ROS) normally produced in fish under Cr(VI) exposure due to its variable valences.
