Abstract: Naphthenic acids (NAs) in petroleum pollute aquatic environments and can disrupt hormone activity. Male frogs exposed to NAs had disrupted testicular function and suppressed mating behaviours, despite appearing otherwise healthy. These effects were reversed after… read more here.

Abstract: In the stratum corneum, the intercellular junction made up of cadherin proteins provides the structural integrity of the framework. Ca2+ ions are known to play a key role in maintaining this junction. In this study,… read more here.
