Abstract
Bioconcentration factors (BCFs) are determined by fish flow-through tests performed according to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development test guideline 305. These are time-consuming and expensive and use a large number of animals. An alternative test design using the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca for bioconcentration studies has been recently developed and demonstrated a high potential. For bioconcentration studies using H. azteca, male amphipods are preferred compared with female organisms. Manual sexing of male adult amphipods is, however, time-consuming and requires care and skill. A new fully automatic sorting and dispensing machine for H. azteca based on image analysis has recently been developed by the company Life Science Methods. Nevertheless, an anesthesia step is necessary prior to the automatic selection. In the present study, we show that a single-pulse of 90 min of tricaine at the concentration of 1 g/L can be used and is recommended to select H. azteca males manually or automatically using the sorting machine. In the second part, we demonstrate that the machine has the ability to select, sort, and disperse the males of a culture batch of H. azteca as efficiently as manual procedures. In the last part of the study, BCFs of two organic substances were evaluated using the H. azteca bioconcentration test (HYBIT) protocol, with an anesthetizing step and robotic selection compared with manual selection without an anesthetizing step. The different BCF values obtained were in accordance with those indicated in the literature and showed that an anesthetizing step had no effect on the BCF values. Therefore, these data validated the interest in this sorting machine for selecting males to perform bioconcentrations studies with H. azteca. Environ Toxicol Chem 2023;42:1075-1084. © 2023 SETAC.

Abstract
Numerous studies suggest that amphibians are highly sensitive to endocrine disruptors (ED) but their precise role in population decline remains unknown. This study shows that frogs exposed to a mixture of ED throughout their life cycle, at environmentally relevant concentrations, developed an unexpected metabolic syndrome. Female Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis exposed to a mixture of benzo[a]pyrene and triclosan (50 ng·L-1 each) from the tadpole stage developed liver steatosis and transcriptomic signature associated with glucose intolerance syndrome, and pancreatic insulin hyper secretion typical of pre-diabetes. These metabolic disorders were associated with delayed metamorphosis and developmental mortality in their progeny, both of which have been linked to reduced adult recruitment and reproductive success. Indeed, F1 females were smaller and lighter and presented reduced reproductive capacities, demonstrating a reduced fitness of ED-exposed Xenopus. Our results confirm that amphibians are highly sensitive to ED even at concentrations considered to be safe for other animals. This study demonstrates that ED might be considered as direct contributing factors to amphibian population decline, due to their disruption of energetic metabolism.

Abstract
Despite numerous studies suggesting that amphibians are highly sensitive to endocrine disruptors (EDs), both their role in the decline of populations and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study showed that frogs exposed throughout their life cycle to ED concentrations low enough to be considered safe for drinking water, developed a prediabetes phenotype and, more commonly, a metabolic syndrome. Female Xenopus tropicalis exposed from tadpole stage to benzo(a)pyrene or triclosan at concentrations of 50 ng⋅L-1 displayed glucose intolerance syndrome, liver steatosis, liver mitochondrial dysfunction, liver transcriptomic signature, and pancreatic insulin hypersecretion, all typical of a prediabetes state. This metabolic syndrome led to progeny whose metamorphosis was delayed and occurred while the individuals were both smaller and lighter, all factors that have been linked to reduced adult recruitment and likelihood of reproduction. We found that F1 animals did indeed have reduced reproductive success, demonstrating a lower fitness in ED-exposed Xenopus Moreover, after 1 year of depuration, Xenopus that had been exposed to benzo(a)pyrene still displayed hepatic disorders and a marked insulin secretory defect resulting in glucose intolerance. Our results demonstrate that amphibians are highly sensitive to EDs at concentrations well below the thresholds reported to induce stress in other vertebrates. This study introduces EDs as a possible key contributing factor to amphibian population decline through metabolism disruption. Overall, our results show that EDs cause metabolic disorders, which is in agreement with epidemiological studies suggesting that environmental EDs might be one of the principal causes of metabolic disease in humans.
