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.
Cadmium (Cd2+) is an endocrine disruptor and exerts negative effects on several endocrine components of the silver sea bream. Exposure of sea bream to waterborne cadmium resulted in marked elevation of plasma Cortisol, indicative of the onset of severe stress response. Plasma thyroid hormone (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) levels were unaffected by cadmium exposure. Although hepatic IGF-I mRNA abundance was unchanged, pituitary growth hormone level was lowered in fish exposed to cadmium.
