Are changes in vitellogenin concentrations in fish reliable indicators of chemical-induced endocrine activity?

Vitellogenin (VTG), a biomarker for endocrine activity, is a mechanistic component of the regulatory assessment of potential endocrine-disrupting properties of chemicals. This review of VTG data is based on changes reported for 106 substances in standard fish species. High intra-study and inter-labo...
