Popis: This study investigates the adverse effects and the associated underlying mechanism of bisphenol S (BPS) exposure on reproductive endocrine activity in adult zebrafish. Fish were exposed for 21 days to different BPS concentrations (0, 8, 40, and 200 µg/mL) determined via the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL, i.e., < EC15 = 250 µg/mL) for zebrafish embryos. Exposure to 200 µg/mL BPS in female zebrafish in the absence of vitellogenic oocytes or the presence of degenerated oocytes in the ovary significantly decreased the biosynthesis of hepatic vitellogenin (VTG) mRNA, while hepatic VTG mRNA in male fish abundance was significantly elevated (P
