本實驗所建立的實驗方法,如酵母菌轉殖株篩選實驗,土鯽魚活體實驗,
皆可敏感有效進行環境荷爾蒙的偵測,並可推廣到其他魚類的應用。酵母菌轉 殖株篩選實驗除可用於疑似環境荷爾蒙的大量快速篩選,尚可仿效國外發表的 文獻加以改良用於野外水體的快速測定;而在活體實驗方面,卵黃前質測定方 法的建立可用於野外土鯽魚的長期監控,判別所採的環境樣品是否遭到環境荷 爾蒙污染之依據,尚可與本實驗的結果進行比較分析而更瞭解環境荷爾蒙所造 成的影響。
另 外 , 苦 花 的 雌 性 激 素 受 體 基 因 亦 在 NCBI (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/submission/webin.html) 網站註冊,11 種污染物對酵母菌轉 殖株的轉錄活化分析亦在 IWA 的國際會議上[21]進行口頭報告,除了酵母菌轉 殖株實驗結果,土鯽魚活體混合浸泡實驗兩兩混合皆為加成效應與 Arukwe et al.及 Thorpe et al.等實驗結果不同,將進行分析探討並投稿至國際期刊,綜上可 知,本研究之成果基本上有達成預期目標,研究內容與計畫亦符合,研究成果 亦有相當高的應用價值。
