Transcriptomics-based analysis of neurotoxic and reproductive effects in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) after exposure to tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) by Xiaoqian Zhou, Weifeng Liu, Bailin Cong, Aifang Deng, Jing Lin, Linlin Zhao, Shenghao Liu

“…Moreover, acute exposure to TCEP regulated MAPK-mediated transduction and regulation of GnRH signaling, thereby altering the expression of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis-related genes. Conclusions These findings revealed the endocrine disrupting effects of TCEP on turbot and identified biomarkers related to reproductive toxicity, providing early warning for the monitoring of healthy aquaculture.…”
