Health Effects Associated with Exposures to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
Toxics, 2022 A number of recent studies have shown that human exposures to a wide range of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may increase the risk of disease across the lifespan by altering the homeostasis or action of endogenous hormones, or other signaling ...

Cryptorchidism and endocrine disrupting chemicals
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2012 Prospective clinical studies have suggested that the rate of congenital cryptorchidism has increased since the 1950s. It has been hypothesized that this may be related to environmental factors. Testicular descent occurs in two phases controlled by Leydig cell-derived hormones insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and testosterone.
