Abstract:In the last decade, the freshwater amphipod Gammarus fossarum proved to be a promising sentinel species in active biomonitoring programs to assess the effects of environmental contamination on nontarget organisms. In many vertebrates, xenobiotics cause deregulation of the retinoids (RETs) metabolism implicated in many crucial biological functions. The retinoid system, known in the crustaceans, is yet to be explored in G. fossarum. Therefore, we studied the implication of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) in the r… Show more
