Novel non-estrogenic endpoints of alkylphenol toxicity in fish

Evidence of the severe effects of alkylphenols (APs) on different fish species exists in a number of axes including endocrine and non-endocrine as well. Present study demonstrates the non-estrogenic attribution of AP in fish species. Confirming this non-estrogenic action of alkylphenols, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were subjected to different doses of APs to study the effect of such class of chemicals on the fish embryogenesis during the first 120 hours of fertilization.
