Levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals are associated with changes in the peri-pubertal epigenome

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2020
Puberty marks a transition period, which leads to the attainment of adult sexual maturity. Timing of puberty is a strongly heritable trait. However, large genetic association studies can only explain a fraction of the observed variability and striking ...

AMH and other markers of ovarian function in patients with Turner syndrome – a single center experience of transition from pediatric to gynecological follow up

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder that affects about 1 in 2500 female births and is characterized by the partial or complete absence of the second X chromosome. Depending on karyotype, TS is associated with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI)

The Endocrine Disruption of Prenatal Phthalate Exposure in Mother and Offspring

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2020
Phthalates are a group of ubiquitous synthetic endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Fetal and neonatal periods are particularly susceptible to endocrine disorders, which prenatal exposure to phthalates causes.

Exposure to 15 phthalates and two substitutes (DEHTP and DINCH) assessed in trios of infants and their parents as well as longitudinally in infants exclusively breastfed and after the introduction of a mixed diet

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Objective: Several phthalates have been restricted/banned due to their adverse endocrine disrupting properties. The use of other phthalates and substitutes has increased.

The potential endocrine disruption of pesticide transformation products (TPs): The blind spot of pesticide risk assessment.

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
The ecological and health risk assessment of environmental pesticide residues have attracted ever-growing attention; however, their transformation products (TPs) have seldom been considered.

Reproductive hormones, bone mineral content, body composition, and testosterone therapy in boys and adolescents with Klinefelter syndrome

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2023
Adult patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) are characterized by a highly variable phenotype, including tall stature, obesity, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, as well as an increased risk of developing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and ...

Exploring the endocrine activity of air pollutants associated with unconventional oil and gas extraction

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2018
Background In the last decade unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction has rapidly proliferated throughout the United States (US) and the world. This occurred largely because of the development of directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing which ...

Endocrine Disruption in Invertebrates: A Survey of Research Progress.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2020
Manmade chemicals can interfere with endocrine processes and have permeated many ecosystems. Arguably, the most devastating example of endocrine disruption occurred in gastropod molluscs which led to the banning of tributyltin.

Deciphering Sex-Specific Differentiation of Human Fetal Gonads: Insight From Experimental Models

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Benzophenones, bisphenols and other polychlorinated/phenolic substances in Danish infants and their parents – including longitudinal assessments before and after introduction to mixed diet

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Background: Humans are widely exposed to chemicals with known or suspected endocrine disrupting effects. Among those are several benzophenones, bisphenols and other phenols commonly used in consumer products.
