Acute Exposure to a Common Organic UV Filter Does Not Alter the mRNA of Gonadal Estrogen or Growth Hormone Receptors in Mozambique Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) In Vitro
Our study is the first to use an in vitro design to investigate the mechanism of the action of BP-3 on gonadal tissue in fish. Our results show that BP-3 does not induce gene regulation directly on the gonads of tilapia at doses that are comparable to what is detectable in aquatic environments after 24 h. We do verify, as seen in other teleost species, homologous regulation of ERβ in male tilapia gonadal tissue.
