Developmental exposure to a complex PAH mixture causes persistent behavioral effects in naive Fundulus heteroclitus (killifish) but not in a population of PAH-adapted killifish.
(Neurotoxicol Teratol, 2016-01)Acute exposures to some individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and complex PAH mixtures are known to cause cardiac malformations and edema in the developing fish embryo. However, the heart is not the only organ ... -
Hepatic Responses of Juvenile Fundulus heteroclitus from Pollution-adapted and Nonadapted Populations Exposed to Elizabeth River Sediment Extract.
(Toxicol Pathol, 2016-07)Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting the Atlantic Wood Industries region of the Elizabeth River, Virginia, have passed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) resistance to their offspring as evidenced by ... -
Later Life Consequences of Subteratogenic Exposure to a Complex PAH Mixture in the Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)
(2015)Subteratogenic and other low-level chronic exposures to toxicant mixtures are an understudied threat to environmental and human health. It is especially important to understand the effects of these exposures for contaminants, ... -
Mitochondria as a Target of Benzo[a]pyrene Toxicity in a PAH-adapted and Naive Population of the Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus Heteroclitus)
(2009)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important contaminants that are found in increasing amounts in aquatic ecosystems. One of the sites that that is contaminated by extremely high levels of PAHs is the Atlantic Wood ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Adaptation to PAHs in Fundulus heteroclitus
(2010)Chronic exposure to toxicant mixtures is a serious threat to environmental and human health. It is especially important to understand the effects of these exposures for contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Silver toxicity across salinity gradients: the role of dissolved silver chloride species (AgCl x ) in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) and medaka (Oryzias latipes) early life-stage toxicity.
(Ecotoxicology, 2016-08)The influence of salinity on Ag toxicity was investigated in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) early life-stages. Embryo mortality was significantly reduced as salinity increased and Ag(+) was converted to AgCl(solid). ... -
The Toxicological Effects of Engineered Nanoparticles, Quantum Dots, in Estuarine Fish
(2010)Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are a part of everyday life. They are incorporated into a wide array of products including sunscreens, clothing, electronics, paints, and automobiles. One particular type of ENP, quantum ...
