Effect of PFAS Exposure on Reproduction : a Comparative Investigation between Kisspeptin-secreting AVPV and Arcuate Nuclei

Creator:

Jacobs, Dakota

Abstract:

Ovulation requires preovulatory surges of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from preoptic hypothalamic neurons, initiated by elevated ovarian estradiol (E₂). Rising estradiol activates a subset of sexually dimorphic kisspeptin (Kiss-1) neurons in the female, located in the anteroventral periventricular nuclei (AVPV). Conversely, estradiol negative feedback on GnRH secretion is mediated by a...

Assessing mechanisms of immunotoxicity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:

Bravo, Claudia F.

Abstract:

During the past 30 years, numerous studies have focused on the toxicities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Laboratory and field studies have helped elucidate the detrimental effects of these chemicals on growth, reproduction and immune response. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are in the priority list of chemicals to be studied by...
