This study aimed to determine the effects of Enrofloxacin (ENR) exposure and depuration on the disruption of thyroid function and growth of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) as well as to assess the risk of ENR exposure to human health. Juvenile grass carp were treated with ENR solutions at different concentration gradients for 21 days and then depurated for 14 days. The results indicated ENR accumulation in the juvenile grass carp muscles, which persisted after depuration.

- Xu-Qian Cao's research predominantly focuses on the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic life, specifically examining the effects of enrofloxacin (ENR) on juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in terms of endocrine disruption and growth.
- The study investigates how ENR exposure influences thyroid function and growth in grass carp, revealing significant concerns regarding the accumulation of ENR in muscle tissues even after a depuration period, which raises questions about potential risks to human health.
- Findings suggest that the persistence of ENR in fish muscles post-exposure poses a risk not only to aquatic ecosystems but also has implications for human health, stressing the need for further research into the ecological impacts of pharmaceutical contaminants.
