While the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) response to stress appears to be
conserved in vertebrates, the manner in which it is activated and its actions vary. We …

Some investigators have hypothesized that estrogens and other hormonally active agents
found in the environment might be involved in breast cancer increases and sperm count …

Many xenobiotic compounds introduced into the environment by human activity have been
shown to adversely affect wildlife. Reproductive disorders in wildlife include altered fertility …

Seasonal and daily variation in basal plasma concentrations of corticosterone and the effect
of short-term confinement on plasma corticosterone concentration were examined in wild …

This study compared the stress induced in captive estuarine crocodiles, Crocodylus
porosus, by two different handling methods: manual restraint (noosing with ropes) and …

Although nitrate is a ubiquitous component of aquatic environments, and has become a
global pollutant in a variety of aquatic systems, it has only recently begun to receive attention …

The objectives of this study were to develop and validate biomarker techniques for aquatic
environmental monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in Nigeria aquatic …

We investigated plasma hormone profiles of corticosterone and testosterone in immature
hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in response to a capture stress protocol. Further …

The effects of capture in a live trap and subsequent handling stress on plasma
concentrations of corticosterone and other sex steroids were examined in wild male and …

In the present study, we investigated the occurrence of intersex condition, histopathological
changes in the gonad and endocrine disruptor biomarker responses in Tilapia species …
