| Title | Occurrence and biological effect of exogenous steroids in the Elkhorn River, Nebraska, USA |
| Creator | Kolok, Alan S. Snow, Daniel D. Kohno, Satomi Sellin, Marlo K. Guillette Jr., Louis J. |
| Description | Recent studies of surface waters in North America, Japan, and Europe have reported the presence of steroidogenic agents as contaminants. The current study has three objectives: 1) to determine if steroidogenic compounds are present in the Elkhorn River, 2) to determine if sediments collected from the Elkhorn River can act as a source of steroidogenic compounds to aquatic organisms, and 3) to determine if site-specific biological effects are apparent in the hepatic gene expression of fathead... |
