TL;DR: The La-chelex resin was able to remove phosphate efficiently from water, and the uptake of phosphate was not affected by the presence of large amounts of anions such as chloride and sulfate.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fish exposed to hypoxia show reproductive impairments in F1 and F2 generations despite these progenies (and their germ cells) having never been exposed toHypoxia, and it is shown that the observed transgenerational reproductive impairment are associated with a differential methylation pattern of specific genes in sperm of both F0 and F1 coupled with relevant transcriptomic and proteomic alterations, which may impair spermatogenesis.

TL;DR: Results suggest that ROS production by C. marina is related to a plasma membrane enzyme system regulated by iron availability but is independent of growth, photosynthesis, availability of macronutrients, salinity and irradiance.

TL;DR: It is argued that the time required for initial induction, maximum induction, adaptation and recovery of these stress responses must first be fully understood and considered before they can be used in environmental monitoring, or else erroneous conclusions may be drawn when interpreting results.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that PBDE metabolites affect steroidogenesis in vitro and that they may have the potential to affect steroidsogenesis and reproduction in whole organisms.
