| accumulation of ligands for aryl hydrocarbon and sex steroid receptors in fish exposed to treated effluent from a bleached sulfite/groundwood pulp and paper mill. | the accumulation of ligands for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (ahr) and fish sex steroid receptors was investigated using two separate controlled fish exposures to final effluent from a bleached sulfite/groundwood mill in new brunswick, canada. in the first experiment, hepatic tissue extracts from exposed fish were fractionated according to lipophilicity. fractions with different octanol-water (kow) partition coefficients were tested for the presence of bioavailable chemicals that function as li ... | 2003 | 14713028 |
