GPER as a Receptor for Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals that interfere with endogenous hormonal systems at various levels, resulting in adverse health effects. EDCs belong to diverse chemical families and can accumulate in the environment, diet and

Effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on Skeletal System Development: A Review [PDF]
Cureus, 2023 Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that alter endocrine function and cause adverse effects on an organism. EDC interference with the endocrine system leads to chronic autoimmune disorders, abnormal osteogenesis, infertility, and reproductive, neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Among the adverse effects of

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and female cancer: Informing the patients [PDF]
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2015 Breast and uterine cancer are the most frequent female gender related neoplasms whose growth is mostly estrogen dependent. Therefore, any EDC exhibiting estrogenic effects may increase the risk of these two malignancies. This review focuses on the potential role of EDCs with estrogenic potential on the risk of breast and uterine neoplasms but also ...

Unlocking India’s Potential in Managing Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Importance, Challenges, and Opportunities [PDF]
Exposure and Health, 2022 AbstractEndocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a prime concern for the environment and health globally. Research shows that in developing countries such as India both the environment and human populations are severely exposed to EDCs and consequently experience rising incidents of adverse health effects such as diabetes and cancers.

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and cardiometabolic indices during pregnancy: The HOME Study [PDF]
Environment International, 2021 Toxicology studies have identified pregnancy as a window of susceptibility for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and cardiometabolic indices in women. No study in humans, however, has examined EDC mixtures and cardiometabolic indices during pregnancy.We used the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study to examine whether ...

EDC-2: The Endocrine Society's second scientific statement on endocrine-disrupting chemicals [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 2015 The Endocrine Society's first Scientific Statement in 2009 provided a wake-up call to the scientific community about how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect health and disease. Five years later, a substantially larger body of literature has solidified our understanding of plausible mechanisms underlying EDC actions and how ...
