1.
Accumulation and effects of the UV-filter octocrylene in adult and embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Bluthgen N, Meili N, Chew G, Odermatt A, Fent K
Sci Total Environ . 2014 Jan; 476-477:207-17. PMID: 24463256
Wide application of the UV-filter octocrylene (OC) in cosmetics leads to contamination of the aquatic environment, but effects of OC remain unclear. Here we determine bioaccumulation and molecular effects of...

Effects of low concentrations of the antiprogestin mifepristone (RU486) in adults and embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio): 2. Gene expression analysis and in vitro activity
Bluthgen N, Sumpter J, Odermatt A, Fent K
Aquat Toxicol . 2013 Nov; 144-145:96-104. PMID: 24177212
Here, we analyzed the transcriptional effects of the antiprogestin mifepristone (MIF, RU486) and progesterone (P4) in zebrafish as well as their in vitro activities in yeast-based reporter gene assays. This...

Effects of low concentrations of the antiprogestin mifepristone (RU486) in adults and embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio): 1. Reproductive and early developmental effects
Bluthgen N, Castiglioni S, Sumpter J, Fent K
Aquat Toxicol . 2013 Oct; 144-145:83-95. PMID: 24161497
Effects of synthetic progestins have recently been reported in fish, but potential effects of the synthetic antiprogestin mifepristone (MIF), also called RU486, have not been studied. The present study provides...

Effects of the UV filter benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) at low concentrations in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Bluthgen N, Zucchi S, Fent K
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol . 2012 Jun; 263(2):184-94. PMID: 22721600
Organic UV filters including benzophenone-3 (BP-3) are widely used to protect humans and materials from damage by UV irradiation. Despite the environmental occurrence of BP-3 in the aquatic environment, little...

Protein and metal cluster structure of the wheat metallothionein domain γ-E(c)-1: the second part of the puzzle
Loebus J, Peroza E, Bluthgen N, Fox T, Meyer-Klaucke W, Zerbe O, et al.
J Biol Inorg Chem . 2011 Mar; 16(5):683-94. PMID: 21437709
Metallothioneins (MTs) are small cysteine-rich proteins coordinating various transition metal ions, including Zn(II), Cd(II), and Cu(I). MTs are ubiquitously present in all phyla, indicating a successful molecular concept for metal...

The missing piece: sediment records in remote Mountain lakes confirm glaciers being secondary sources of persistent organic pollutants
Schmid P, Bogdal C, Bluthgen N, Anselmetti F, Zwyssig A, Hungerbuhler K
Environ Sci Technol . 2010 Nov; 45(1):203-8. PMID: 21077604
After atmospheric deposition and storage in the ice, glaciers are temporary reservoirs of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Recently, the hypothesis that melting glaciers represent secondary sources of these pollutants has...

The UV-absorber benzophenone-4 alters transcripts of genes involved in hormonal pathways in zebrafish (Danio rerio) eleuthero-embryos and adult males
Zucchi S, Bluthgen N, Ieronimo A, Fent K
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol . 2010 Oct; 250(2):137-46. PMID: 20937294
Benzophenone-4 (BP-4) is frequently used as UV-absorber in cosmetics and materials protection. Despite its frequent detection in the aquatic environment potential effects on aquatic life are unknown. In this study,...
