Endocrine disrupters as obesogens [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2009 The recent dramatic rise in obesity rates is an alarming global health trend that consumes an ever increasing portion of health care budgets in Western countries. The root cause of obesity is thought to be a prolonged positive energy balance. Hence, the major focus of preventative programs for obesity has been to target overeating and inadequate ...

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: Effects on Endocrine Glands [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 In recent years, endocrine disrupting chemicals have gained interest in human physiopathology and more and more studies aimed to explain how these chemicals compounds affect endocrine system. In human populations, the majority of the studies point toward an association between exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and the disorders affecting ...

Sonophotocatalysis of endocrine-disrupting chemicals [PDF]
Marine Environmental Research, 2008 Sonolysis and photolysis often exhibit synergistic effects in the degradation of organic molecules. An assay of fish oocyte maturation provides an appropriate experimental system to investigate the hormonal activities of chemical agents. Oocyte maturation in fish is triggered by maturation-inducing hormone (MIH), which acts on receptors on the oocyte ...

Deciphering Sex-Specific Differentiation of Human Fetal Gonads: Insight From Experimental Models
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Sex-specific gonadal differentiation is initiated by the expression of SRY in male foetuses. This promotes a signalling pathway directing testicular development, while in female foetuses the absence of SRY and expression of pro-ovarian factors promote ...

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Infectious Diseases: From Endocrine Disruption to Immunosuppression [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are hormonally active compounds in the environment that interfere with the body’s endocrine system and consequently produce adverse health effects. Despite persistent public health concerns, EDCs remain important components of common consumer products, thus representing ubiquitous contaminants to humans.

Potential Developmental and Reproductive Impacts of Triclocarban: A Scoping Review
Journal of Toxicology, 2017 Triclocarban (TCC) is an antimicrobial agent used in personal care products. Although frequently studied with another antimicrobial, triclosan, it is not as well researched, and there are very few reviews of the biological activity of TCC.
