Symbiotic Gene Activation is Interrupted by Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) include organochlorine pesticides, plastics manufacturing by-products, and certain herbicides[1]. These chemicals have been shown to disrupt hormonal signaling in exposed wildlife, lab animals, and mammalian cell ...

The GABAergic system: a possible component of estrogenic feedback on gonadotropin secretion in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 1998
In teleost fish, GTH secretion is controlled by a large number of neuroendocrine factors at the central level and steroid feedback represents an efficient process to synchronize the activity of all the systems involved along the brain-pituitary-gonad ...

Ovarian steroids regulate tachykinin and tachykinin receptor gene expression in the mouse uterus

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background In the mouse uterus, pregnancy is accompanied by changes in tachykinin and tachykinin receptor gene expression and in the uterotonic effects of endogenous tachykinins. In this study we have investigated whether changes in tachykinin expression
