Overview

Taisen Iguchi is affiliated with the National Institute for Basic Biology in Japan. Their research spans multiple fields including Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Environmental Science, and Medicine. Within these areas, Iguchi has contributed substantially to subfields such as Genetics, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Physiology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, and Molecular Biology.

The primary focus of Iguchi's work involves topics related to reproductive biology and its impacts on aquatic species, genetic and clinical aspects of sex determination and chromosomal abnormalities, and the effects and risks posed by endocrine disrupting chemicals. Additional thematic areas include estrogen and related hormone effects, aquaculture nutrition and growth, hormonal and reproductive studies, as well as toxic organic pollutants impact.

Iguchi's publication record includes multiple papers in various scientific journals. Recent significant papers include:

  • Sex Determination and Differentiation in Decapod and Cladoceran Crustaceans: An Overview of Endocrine Regulation (2021) in Genes
  • Evolutionary differentiation of androgen receptor is responsible for sexual characteristic development in a teleost fish (2023) in Nature Communications
  • ERGO: Breaking Down the Wall between Human Health and Environmental Testing of Endocrine Disrupters (2020) in International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • The Conflict between Regulatory Agencies over the 20,000-Fold Lowering of the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for Bisphenol A (BPA) by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (2024) in Environmental Health Perspectives
  • Bisphenol A induces a shift in sex differentiation gene expression with testis-ova or sex reversal in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) (2020) in Journal of Applied Toxicology

Iguchi often collaborates with several frequent co-authors, including Tomomi Sato, Shinichi Miyagawa, Yukiko Ogino, and Kenji Toyota. These collaborative efforts have contributed to a broad and comprehensive research portfolio.

Their research is frequently published in journals such as Journal of Applied Toxicology, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C Toxicology & Pharmacology, Aquatic Toxicology, SSRN Electronic Journal, and Genes, with the highest number of publications appearing in the Journal of Applied Toxicology.

Iguchi has also contributed to book publications, notably with IntechOpen, where they published a book titled Arthropods - New Advances and Perspectives in 2022.
