SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF THE LIVER TRANSCRIPTOME IN ADULT MALE ZEBRAFISH EXPOSED TO THE PLASTICIZER (2-ETHYLHEXYL) PHTHALATE (DEHP).

We report the effects of exposure to the endocrine disurptor (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on transcriptome modification in the livers of in vivo Zebrafish. Our data indicate changes in fatty acid metabolism and insulin resistance, pathways associated with the development of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Overall design: Examination of transcriptome changes in an in vivo model organism exposed to a common, environmental compound.
