MeSH headings : Animals; Cadmium / toxicity; Daphnia / drug effects; Daphnia / genetics; Daphnia / metabolism; Ecdysteroids / toxicity; Ecdysterone / toxicity; Environmental Pollutants / toxicity; Estrogens / toxicity; Gene Expression / drug effects; Heterocyclic Compounds / toxicity; Polycyclic Compounds / toxicity; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Vitellogenins / genetics; Vitellogenins / metabolism; Xenobiotics / toxicity
topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species
TL;DR:
Results indicate that ecdysteroids are suppressors of vitellogenin gene expression and that viteLLogenin mRNA levels can be elevated or suppressed in daphnids by xenobiotics that elicit antiecdysteroidal or ecdystersoidal activity, respectively.
