Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Butachlor, as a chloracetamide herbicide, is widely used in China. In the present study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to different concentrations of butachlor (0, 25, 50, 100 μg L-1) for 30 d, to determine the effects on the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axes. Seven different endpoints were examined: whole-body T4 and T3, TRH and TSH contents, body growth (weight and fork length) and condition factor. The results indicated that butachlor did not affect the mortality, mean length and the contents of TRH and TSH in juveniles, while significantly increased the mean weight, condition factor and the contents of T4 and T3, suggesting that butachlor might be a thyroid disrupter.
