Abstract:
... Cichlids (Teleostei; Cichlidae) display a high variability of coloration, a morphological characteristic playing an important role in the life and evolution of fishes. The heterochrony—alterations in the developmental timing and rate—has been suggested to be one of the key mechanisms underpinning evolution of the pigment patterns in cichlids. Here, we present the experimental data indicating that ...

ECs are refractory, toxic, tend to bioaccumulate and have a potential to disrupt the endocrine system of living organisms. These compounds are only partially eliminated in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Due to their hydrophobic nature, they ten ...

However, the role of the DEHP as a transgenerational obesogen is still controversial. In this study, we used fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) to investigate where the exposure period, doses, and exposed parental ...

Abstract:
... Management factors associated with colic, particularly related to stall confinement and nutrition, have been linked to alterations in gastrointestinal mucosal transport, motility, and microbiome, which in turn creates conditions that induce colic. In particular, meal feeding creates large changes in water movement in and out of the colon and alters the microbiome. These conditions may in turn resu ...

Abstract:
... Iodinated contrast media (ICM) have been detected at high concentrations (as high as about 3 μg/L) in surface water systems, and recently in fish brains and gonad. The mismatch between the polarity of ICM and the high lipid content of brain raises questions on whether their bioaccumulation is receptor-mediated. Furthermore, the structural similarity of ICM to the natural thyroid hormones thyroxine ...
