Abstract: Environmental estrogens(EEs)is able to disturb normal endocrine activity of human and animal, the affect reproductive functions. This paper summarized the recent researches on the effect of EEs on animal reproductive gland structure, sex ratio and vitellogenin synthesis. We recommend to determine the vitellogenin levels of abnormal expression in male or larvae of oviparous vertebrates as EEs index in environmental monitoring;mechanism research on the influence of EEs on reproductive function of human and animal, should be start from a single compound in EEs.

Key words: Environmental estrogens, Vitellogenin, Gonad
