Expressions of the estrogen receptors and vitellogenin in Japanese turtle () in response to petroleum hydrocarbon were studied. A total of 15 male turtles were exposed to 1.00 mg L of a sample of an oil spill, and 15 male and 15 female turtles were served as controls without an oil spill. The transcripts' results demonstrated an increase over time with greater expression of vitellogenin I in males exposed to petroleum with significant differences. In the case of vitellogenin II, the expression was greater than control males, but it was similar to the values of control females. Concerning the estrogen receptor and estrogen receptor , males exposed to oil spill presented higher values at 72 hr than the controls. In conclusion, in the present work, the effect of petroleum as an endocrine disruptor in turtles was demonstrated, and it can be used to identify damages induced by the presence of hydrocarbons in aquatic environments.
研究了日本龟体内雌激素受体和卵黄蛋白原对石油烃的响应。总共15只雄龟暴露于1.00毫克/升的溢油样本中，15只雄龟和15只雌龟作为未接触溢油的对照。转录结果表明，随着时间推移，接触石油的雄龟中卵黄蛋白原I的表达增加，且差异显著。对于卵黄蛋白原II，其表达高于对照雄龟，但与对照雌龟的值相似。关于雌激素受体和雌激素受体，接触溢油的雄龟在72小时时的值高于对照。总之，在本研究中，证明了石油作为龟类内分泌干扰物的作用，并且它可用于识别水生环境中碳氢化合物存在所引起的损害。
