报告简介：
It is well accepted that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interact with the endocrine system affecting the health of humans and wildlife. Such chemicals are a diverse group of compounds that can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in different organisms. In the aquatic environment, endocrine disruption in invertebrates has received less attention compared with fish yet it is apparent that invertebrates do take up and bioaccumulate such chemicals and they are sensitive to endocrine disruption at environmentally relevant concentrations.
To determine the biological effects of such compounds in an invertebrate species, M. edulis have been exposed to estrogens and sewage effluent extracts. Their effect on vitellogenin (VTG), estrogen receptor 2 (ER2), serotonin receptor (5HT) and cyclooxygenase mRNA expression at different stages of the reproductive cycle, and the wider implications, will be discussed
