The Endocrine Disruptor Bisphenol A (BPA) Exerts a Wide Range of Effects in Carcinogenesis and Response to Therapy.

Current Molecular Pharmacology, 2019
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic plasticizer that is commonly used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Human exposure occurs when BPA migrates from food and beverage containers into the contents when heated or even ...

Transgenerational metabolomic fingerprints in mice ancestrally exposed to the obesogen TBT

Environment International, 2021
Background: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contribute to the etiology of metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic dysfunction. Concern is growing about the consequences of perinatal EDC exposure on disease predisposition

Strategies to Protect Dialysis Patients against Bisphenol A

Biomolecules, 2021
Bisphenol A (BPA), also known as 2,2,-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, is a common component of plastics worldwide. However, it has been shown to act as an endocrine disruptor with some hormonal functions.

Endocrine Disruptors

Dose-Response, 2015
Law and science combine in the estimation of risks from endocrine disruptors (EDs) and actions for their regulation. For both, dose–response models are the causal link between exposure and probability (or percentage change) of adverse response. The evidence that leads to either regulations or judicial decrees is affected by uncertainty and limited ...

Non-endocrine disruptor effect for cardanol based plasticizer

Industrial crops and products (Print), 2019
A series of bio-based epoxidized plasticizers (CExEp) for soft PVC was synthesized from cardanol and various fatty acids by esterification and epoxidation of the fatty and cardanol unsaturations.

Light at night as an environmental endocrine disruptor.

Physiology and Behavior, 2017
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are often consequences of human activity; however, the effects of EEDs are not limited to humans. A primary focus over the past ∼30years has been on chemical EEDs, but the repercussions of non-chemical EEDs, such
