Developmental neurobehavioral toxicity of bisphenol A in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:

Saili, Katerine Schletz

Abstract:

Billions of pounds of bisphenol A (BPA) are produced annually around the globe for the manufacture of numerous consumer products, including polycarbonate food and water containers, the protective resin linings of food cans, thermal printing paper, and dental fillings. BPA exposure during nervous system development has been associated with learning...

Developmental toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : defining mechanisms with systems-based transcriptional profiling

Creator:

Goodale, Britton C.

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment as components of fossil fuels and by-products of combustion. Defining toxicity mechanisms for this large family of multi-ring structures and substituted derivatives is a substantial challenge. Several PAHs, such as benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), are mutagenic, toxic to wildlife, and classified as probable...

Defining PAH and Oxygen-substituted PAH-dependent Developmental and Adult Toxicity in Zebrafish

Creator:

Knecht, Andrea L.

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygen-substituted PAHs (OPAHs) are environmental contaminants present in urban air, dust, soil and water resulting from incomplete combustion of organic materials or fossil fuels; found in crude oil and coal; and formed through photoxidation or biotransformation of microbial. It is widely recognized that PAHs pose...
