EDCs DataBank: 3D-Structure database of endocrine disrupting chemicals
Toxicology, 2015 Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a group of compounds that affect the endocrine system, frequently found in everyday products and epidemiologically associated with several diseases. The purpose of this work was to develop EDCs DataBank, the only database of EDCs with three-dimensional structures.

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and Male Infertility
Exposure to environmental contaminants has been an important cause of the decline in male fertility in the last 20 years. The most serious threat is represented by the release into the environment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) capable of interfering with the endocrine system; affecting steroidogenesis, sperm quality, and oxidative balance ...

Impact of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on Reproductive Health of Human [PDF]
Proceedings of the Zoological Society, 2022 AbstractAt present, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have gained attention in human pathophysiology, and many studies have yet been conducted to explain the mechanism of these chemical compounds on endocrine and reproductive dysfunctions. In human the maximum studies focus towards the exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and their disorders ...

The effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the epigenome-A short overview
Toxicology Research and Application, 2022 To understand the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), the mechanism(s) by which EDCs exert their harmful effects on humans and their offspring needs careful examination and clarification. Epigenetic modification, including DNA methylation, expression of aberrant microRNA (miRNA), and histone modification, is one mechanism assumed to be a
