Anchoring novel molecular biomarker responses to traditional responses in fish exposed to environmental contamination (2009)
Journal Article
Nogueira, P., Pacheco, M., Lourdes Pereira, M., Mendo, S., & Rotchell, J. M. (2010). Anchoring novel molecular biomarker responses to traditional responses in fish exposed to environmental contamination. Environmental pollution, 158(5), 1783-1790. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2009.11.007

The responses of Dicentrarchus labrax and Liza aurata to aquatic pollution were assessed in a contaminated coastal lagoon, using both traditional and novel biomarkers combined. DNA damage, assessed by comet assay, was higher in both fish species from...

Transcript profiling and DNA damage in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) exposed to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (2009)
Journal Article
Nogueira, P., Lourenço, J., Rodriguez, E., Pacheco, M., Santos, C., Rotchell, J. M., & Mendo, S. (2009). Transcript profiling and DNA damage in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) exposed to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. Aquatic Toxicology, 94(2), 123-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2009.06.007

The molecular responses induced during and after an acute exposure to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) were analysed in liver, gill and blood cells of juvenile Anguilla anguilla with the aim of developing molecular biomarkers of environmental PA...

Estrogenic activity of cadmium, copper and zinc in the yeast estrogen screen (2009)
Journal Article
Denier, X., Hill, E. M., Rotchell, J., & Minier, C. (2009). Estrogenic activity of cadmium, copper and zinc in the yeast estrogen screen. Toxicology in Vitro, 23(4), 569-573. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tiv.2009.01.006

Heavy metals are increasingly studied due to their apparent ability to disrupt signaling pathways of living organisms including humans. Among various mechanisms of action, metals are suspected of exerting estrogenic activity in human and wildlife. In...
