Abstract

Amphibian population declines globally. Aquatic contamination by organic pollutants including endocrine disrupters has been suspected to the one of the reason for distinction of amphibia which has obligate aquatic life style during larval period. Amphibians have been widely accepted as animal model for the study of endocrine disruption in aquatic ecosystem at molecular as well as individual levels. There are increasing need for toxicological data in amphibians at multiple endpoints for management of contamination and development of safety guideline for important EDs in aquatic media. Alkylphenols have been widely used in agricultural, industrial, and housekeeping activities, contaminating the aquatic media and evoking endocrine disruption in aquatic animals. In this review, we summarized data concerning the endocrine disruption by alkylphenol organic pollutants on amphibians according to route, concentration, terms, and developmental stage of exposure together with mechanism of endocrine disruption.

지구적으로 양서류가 감소하고 있다. 수정 후 변태에 이르는 생활사를 수중에서 진행하는 양서류는 수환경 내의 오염물질에 1차적으로 노출되며 독성효과에 대한 감수성이 높아 수환경의 오염에 특히 취약하다. 양서류는 수서생태계의 건강도 지표로서 유용할 뿐 아니라 배아 또는 유생에서 분자 및 개체수준의 다양한 생체지표를 이용한 내분비계장애물질을 비롯한 다양한 환경오염물질의 독성평가 모델로서도 유용하다. 양서류에서 얻어진 독성자료는 수환경 오염물질의 관리와 안전관리기준의 설정에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 다양한 알킬페놀류 화합물이 농업, 공업, 가정활동에 사용되고 있으며, 수환경 내에 잔류한다. 이들은 다양한 수생동물에서 내분비계장애 효과를 갖는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 소고에서는 양서류의 배아, 유생을 대상으로 알킬페놀류 화합물의 종류별, 노출경로 및 농도, 노출기간 및 발생단계 등에 따른 내분비계장애효과와 그 기작에 관한 국내외 자료를 정리하였다.
