Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Atrazine is one of the most commonly used pre-emergence and early post-emergence herbicides in the world. We have shown previously that atrazine does not directly stimulate the pituitary or adrenal to trigger hormone release but acts centrally to ...

Characterization of atrazine-induced gonadal malformations in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) and comparisons with effects of an androgen antagonist (cyproterone acetate) and exogenous estrogen (17beta-estradiol): Support for the demasculinization/feminization hypothesis. [PDF]
, 2006 Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that both chemically castrates and feminizes male amphibians. It depletes androgens in adult frogs and reduces androgen-dependent growth of the larynx in developing male larvae.

Substrate Specificity of Atrazine Chlorohydrolase and Atrazine-Catabolizing Bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT Bacterial atrazine catabolism is initiated by the enzyme atrazine chlorohydrolase (AtzA) in Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP. Other triazine herbicides are metabolized by bacteria, but the enzymological basis of this is unclear.

Plantain-based diet modulates atrazine-induced testicular toxicities in rats
Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction, 2023 Objective: To assess the potential of plantain-based diet in modulating testicular toxicities in rats exposed to atrazine. Methods: The plantain-based diet at 50%, 25% and 12.5% were prepared from the basal diet by substituting the corn starch with ...

Can we predict community-wide effects of herbicides from toxicity tests on macrophyte species? [PDF]
, 2011 Macrophyte communities play an essential role in the way freshwater ecosystems function. It is thus of great concern to understand how environmental factors, especially anthropogenic ones, influence their composition and diversity.

Of Frogs & Rhetoric: The Atrazine Wars [PDF]
, 2015 In a scientific dispute over the effects of atrazine on amphibians, chemical industry–funded and publically funded scientists present stunningly contrasting constructions of atrazine\u27s environmental concentrations, persistence, and potential to harm ...
