Estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural hormones, synthetic compounds or industrial chemicals that mimic estrogens due to their structural similarity with estrogen's functional moieties. They typically enter aquatic environments through wastewater treatment plant effluents or ru...

The current study investigated the effect of environmentally relevant mixtures of estrogens at levels representative of receiving waters on the metabolome of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata. Oysters were exposed to a "low" and a "high" mixture of (xeno) estrogens (representative of Aust...

Very little is currently known regarding the effects of estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals on embryonic and larval development in molluscs, nor the potential effects of parental (F0) exposure on resultant F1 offspring. In this study, we assessed the embryotoxic impacts of exposure to environm...

In aquatic environments the concurrent exposure of molluscs to microplastics (MPs) and estrogens is common, as these pollutants are frequently released by wastewater treatment plants into estuaries. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the independent and co-exposure impacts of polyethylene micro...

This study aimed to reveal possible alterations to lipidomic profiles in Sydney rock oysters, Saccostrea glomerata, exposed to estrogenic mixtures (i.e., estrone, E1; 17β-estradiol, E2; estriol, E3; 17α-ethinylestradiol, EE2; bisphenol A, BPA; 4-t-octylphenol, 4-t-OP; and 4-nonylphenol, 4-NP) at "lo...

This study exposed adult Sydney rock oysters, of either sex or both, to the synthetic estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) at 50 ng/L for 21 days, followed by an examination of developmental endpoints and transcriptomic responses in unexposed larvae. Reduced survival was observed at 1 day post-fertil...

There is a ubiquitous co-occurrence of microplastics (MPs) and estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs) in aquatic environments. Their combined presence may induce sub-lethal stress in aquatic organisms, like molluscs, which may adapt to the stress through adjusting the lipidome. This study...
