摘要： Although the coexistence of heavy metals and environmental hormones always occur in aquatic environment, the information of the combined impacts remains unclear. To explore the multi-generational toxicity of cadmium (Cd) and tributyltin (TBT), adult zebrafish (Dank) rerio) (F0) were exposed to different treated groups (100 ng/l Cd, 100 ng/l TBT and their mixture) for 90 d, with their offspring (F1 and F2) subsequently reared in the same exposure solutions corresponding to their parents. Both developmental neurotoxicity and thyroid disturbances were examined in the three (F0, F1, and F2) generations. Our results showed that co-exposure to Cd and TBT induced the developmental neurotoxicity in F1 and F2 generations, reflected by the significant lower levels of neuro-transmitters (dopamine and serotonin) and the inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities. And the thyroid endocrine disruption were observed in the two-generations larval offspring by parental exposure to Cd and/or TBT, including the significantly decreasing levels of thyroid hormones and the down-regulated the expression of genes involved in the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis, compared to the control. Additional, the embryonic toxicity and growth inhibition were also determined in the fish larvae. Overall, this study examined the impacts of parental co-exposure to Cd and TBT, with regard to developmental inhibition, nervous system damage and endocrine disruption, which highlighted that co-exposure influences are complicated and need to be considered for accurate environmental risk assessment.
