Thyroid hormones and their receptor gene expression as biomarkers of endocrine disruption in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

Thyroid hormones and their receptor gene expression as biomarkers of endocrine disruption in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that are lipophilic, slow to degrade, bioaccumulate in aquatic food webs and threaten the health of both humans and wildlife. Predatory marine mammals, such as harbour seals (Phoca vitulina), are at particularly risk for...
