Here, we examined circulating thyroid hormones, thyroid gland function of nestling American kestrels (Falco sparverius) at 17‐20 d of age, following embryonic exposure by maternal transfer only to environmentally relevant levels of PBDEs (DE‐71 technical mixture). Nestlings were exposed to in ovo sum (Σ) PBDE concentrations of 11,301 ± 95 ng/g ww (high ...
This study assessed the effects of maternal copper or cadmium exposure in a live‐bearing fish. After a 10‐day exposure to background levels (control) or 0.15 µM copper or cadmium, we transferred gravid females to clean water. ...
However, limited information is available regarding the effects on offspring following maternal exposure. The present study is to observe the effects of progestational exposure to MC‐LR on postnatal development in rats. ...
The present study characterized effects of a maternal exposure of these compounds on the development of the daggerblade grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio from embryo to juvenile life stage. ...
The PCP exposure at 27 µg/L resulted in elevated plasma thyroxine concentrations in male and female zebrafish and depressed 3, 5, 3'‐triiodothyronine concentrations in males only. ...
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a bioaccumulative, persistent, and toxic class of flame retardants that can potentially impact turtles in natural habitats via exposure through maternal transfer. To simulate maternal transfer in the present study, PBDE congeners BDE‐47 and BDE‐99 were topically applied to the eggshell and were allowed ...
