Effects of methoprene, nonylphenol and estrone on the vitellogenin production of opossum shrimp
From MarineSpecies Traits Wiki
Context of the study
A number of anthropogenic chemicals are known to have the potential to disrupt the vitellogenin production in vertebrates. Male fish e.g. are known to produce this protein when exposed to xeno-estrogens. Little is know however about the potential effects of such endocrine disrupting compounds on the vitellin production of invertebrates.
