Morphological, Gene, and Hormonal Changes in Gonads and In-Creased Micrococcal Nuclease Accessibility of Sperm Chromatin Induced by Mercury

Morphological, Gene, and Hormonal Changes in Gonads and In-Creased Micrococcal Nuclease Accessibility of Sperm Chromatin Induced by Mercury

Mercury is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants. In this work, we analysed the effects of exposure of <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i> to 1, 10 and 100 pM HgCl<sub>2</sub> for 24 h on the gonadal morphology and on the expression level of three stress genes: <...
