Abstract

Over the last few years, an increased awareness of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their potential to affect wildlife and humans has produced a demand for practical screening methods to identify endocrine activity in a wild range of environmental and industrial chemicals. It is clear that in vivo methods will be required to identify adverse effects produced by these chemicals. (omitted)
