Endocrine Disruptors

2013
Abstract Endocrine disruptors are synthetic chemicals that interfere with the function of natural hormones. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals have become ubiquitous in the modern environment. They can affect human health and development—especially reproductive and cognitive development—even at very low levels of exposure.

Endocrine Disrupters

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2005
Man does not come into the world pre-determined. The lifetime set of environmental conditions impinging on a given individual has been termed the ambiome, which together with the genome and the proteome determines each individual's development and construction. Among the most important elements making up the ambiome are endocrine disruptors.

Endocrine disruptors and obesity

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2015
The increasing incidence of obesity is a serious global public health challenge. Although the obesity epidemic is largely fueled by poor nutrition and lack of exercise, certain chemicals have been shown to potentially have a role in its aetiology. A substantial body of evidence suggests that a subclass of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which ...
