Case study in 21st century ecotoxicology: Using in vitro aromatase inhibition data to predict reproductive outcomes in fish, in vivo.

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2022-04-23
Data set includes empirical results from 60 h, 10 d, and 21 d exposures of female fathead minnows to the fungicide imazalil as well as simulations from predictive models anchored to an established adverse outcome pathway (https://aopwiki.org/aops/25). Contents are organized into multiple tabs: (1) Simulated effects on plasma 17b-estradiol and vitellogenin used to inform experimental design. (2) Model simulations based on nominal concentrations used in the 60 h, 10 d, and 21 d exposures. (3) Biological effects data from the 60 h experiment. (4) Analytical exposure verification from the 60 h experiment. (5) Biological effects data from the 10 d exposure. (6) Biological effects data from 21 d exposure. (7) Analytical exposure verification from the 10 d and 21 d exposures. (8) Reproduction data from the 10 d and 21 d exposures. (9) Simulated reproduction results based on nominal exposure concentrations used in the 10 d and 21 d exposures. (10) Histopathology evaluations for selected females from the 10 d and 21 d exposures. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Villeneuve, D., B. Blackwell, C. Blanksma, J. Cavallin, W. Cheng, R. Conolly, K. Conrow, D. Feifarek, L. Heinis, K. Jensen, M. Kahl, R.
