Evaluation of growth and energy storage as biological markers of DDT exposure in sailfin mollies
TLDR
Direct and indirect measures of growth and energy storage were evaluated as indicators of subchronic 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(o-chlorophenyl)-2-(p- chlorophenyl)ethane (o,p'-DDT) exposure in juvenile sailfin mollies.About:

Lipids in freshwater ecosystems
Michael T. Arts,Bruce Wainman +1 more
TL;DR: The results allowed us to assess the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals, not necessarily belonging to the same species.

Reproduction and development of Japanese medaka following an early life stage exposure to xenoestrogens
A.C Nimrod,William H. Benson +1 more
TL;DR: All three concentrations of E2 were sufficient to produce exclusively female populations and there was no depreciation in reproductive capability in the NP or MXC-treated fish as measured by fecundity, viability of eggs, or hatchability of eggs.

Ecological Role of Lipids in the Health and Success of Fish Populations
TL;DR: Four areas in which lipids play an important role in fish health are discussed including (1) overwinter starvation and survival, (2) energy allocation strategies, (3) reproductive performance and early life history, and (4) environmental stress.

Approaches for linking whole-body fish tissue residues of mercury or DDT to biological effects thresholds.
TL;DR: This paper is the first to evaluate in a systematic way different approaches for deriving protective tissue residue-effect concentrations in fish using the same datasets, and concluded the t-TEL approach best represented the underlying data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Sublethal Copper Exposure on Copper Accumulation, Food Consumption, Growth, Energy Stores, and Nucleic Acid Content in Common Carp
TL;DR: Substantial biochemical changes were observed at the two highest copper exposure concentrations, but the correlation between growth rate and RNA:DNA ratio was poor considering the substantial differences in growth rate, and the use of the RNA: DNA ratio as a sensitive biomarker is questioned.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding
TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

Quantitative Determination of Serum Triglycerides by the Use of Enzymes
Giovanni Bucolo,Harold David +1 more
TL;DR: A novel method for determining serum triglycerides, in which an enzymatic hydrolysis replaces the more commonly used saponification procedure, which is simple, rapid, and requires only 50 µl or less of sample.

Biomarkers of Environmental Contamination
John F. McCarthy,Lee Shugart +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the use of biological markers in animals and plants for evaluating the ecological and health effects of environmental contamination is presented in this article, where biological markers can be used as indicators of exposure to toxic chemicals and as predictors of the adverse consequences of such exposure.

Animal biomarkers as pollution indicators
TL;DR: The study highlights the need to understand more fully the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals, not necessarily belonging to the same breeds.
