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

The Endocrine Disruption of Prenatal Phthalate Exposure in Mother and Offspring
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.

Endocrine Disruption in Invertebrates: A Survey of Research Progress.
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
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 ...
