Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and Reproductive Outcomes
, 2023 AbstractEndocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are prevalent throughout the environment and known to negatively impact fertility. As the prevalence of unexplained subfertility increases worldwide, it is important to understand the impact EDCs might have on reproduction and fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). This chapter examines

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and cancer: new perspectives on an old relationship
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2022 Environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a mixture of chemical compounds capable to interfere with endocrine axis at different levels and to which population is daily exposed. This paper aims to review the relationship between EDCs and breast, prostate, testicle, ovary, and thyroid cancer, discussing carcinogenic activity of known EDCs ...

Epigenetics, estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and the brain
2021Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a major public health concern, yet there are gaps in knowledge about the mechanisms for their effects. The brain is incredibly sensitive to small changes in the hormonal environment during early development, with natural sex differences in gonadal hormones shaping the organization of sex-specific neural ...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and sex steroid receptors
2021Sex-steroid receptors (SSRs) are essential mediators of estrogen, progestin, and androgen signaling that are critical in vast aspects of human development and multi-organ homeostasis. Dysregulation of SSR function has been implicated in numerous pathologies including cancers, obesity, Type II diabetes mellitus, neuroendocrine disorders, cardiovascular ...

Effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on bacterial communities in mangrove sediments
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017The diversity and composition of bacterial communities in mudflat and mangrove sediments were investigated under the stresses of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using high-throughput sequencing technique. Bacterial diversity in the original sediments was highest among all samples, followed by non-sterilized and sterilized sediments after 84-day ...

Degradation of liposome cluster caused by the interaction with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2008The interaction between endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and liposome clusters was investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy and observed by microscope. Since liposome clusters are composed of small unilamellar liposomes and membrane proteins, they are regarded as a model of plasma membranes. The size of each cluster was 10microm in diameter.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2015Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disorder of unclear etiopathogenesis that is likely to involve genetic and environmental components synergistically contributing to its phenotypic expression. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and in particular Bisphenol A (BPA) represent a group of widespread pollutants intensively investigated ...

Occurrence and treatment trials of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in wastewaters
Chemosphere, 2005This study demonstrates that both synthetic and natural endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) (e.g., bisphenol A, estrone and 17beta-estradiol) were found in the crude wastewaters from two wastewater treatment works (WwTWs). Conventional biological processes can lower EDCs concentrations to several tens to hundreds ngl(-1).
