  6. 9. The juvenile three-spined stickleback : model organism for the study of estrogenic and androgenic endocrine disruption in laboratory and field

    Author : Edda Hahlbeck; Bengt-Erik Bengtsson; Poul Bjerregaard; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; endocrine disruption; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Industrial and domestic sewage effluents have been found to cause reproductive disorders in wild fish, often as a result of the interference of compounds in the effluents with the endocrine system. This thesis describes laboratory-based exposure experiments and a field survey that were conducted with juveniles of the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus. READ MORE

  7. 10. Pharmacogenetic analysis in sickness and in health - for better or for worse
