| Abstract | In this study, the impact of 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2) on reproduction in zebrafish (Danio rerio) was evaluated using vitellogenin (Vtg) induction, mortality rate, growth, sex ratio, gonad histology, fecundity, and sperm parameters as endpoints. Two days post-hatch (2dph) zebrafish were exposed to solvent control or EE2 at 0.4, 2, and 10ng/l for 3 months. At 21dph, Vtg mRNA expression was detected only in fish exposed to 10ng/l EE2. At 90dph, increased mortality rate and sex ratio (female:male) were observed in fish exposed to 2 and 10ng/l EE2. A dose-dependent increase in gonads with underdeveloped gametes was observed in fish exposed to EE2. At 180dph, malformation of the sperm duct and reduced number of spermatozoa were found in fish exposed to 2ng/l and 10ng/l EE2. Reduced fecundity and 12hpf egg viability were found in EE2-exposed males and females. The number of fish with no expressible milt was elevated dose dependently in EE2-exposed males, although no difference in sperm density was found. After a 3-month recovery period, growth and sex ratio were partially recovered. Our findings suggest that EE2 can adversely affect the fecundity, sex differentiation, gametes development, and other reproductive functions of both male and female zebrafish, and some of the toxic effects persist. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
