Endocrine disruptors and endometriosis
Reproductive Toxicology, 2023Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease of reproductive-age women. It is clinically and pathologically characterized by the presence of functional endometrium as heterogeneous lesions outside the uterine cavity. The two major symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility, which profoundly affect women's reproductive ...

Endocrine disruptors and obesity
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2015The 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 ...

The Effects of Metals as Endocrine Disruptors
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2009This review reports current knowledge regarding the roles that cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (PB), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) play as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The influence of these metals on the endocrine system, possible mechanisms of action, and consequent health effects were correlated between experimental animals ...

Endocrine Disruptors and Human Health
Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2010Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a group of diversely natural compounds or synthetic chemicals that can interfere with the programming of normal endocrine-signalling pathways during pre- and neonatal life, thus leading to adverse consequences later in life.

Abstract Endocrine disruptors are exogenous chemicals that can cause anatomical and physiological changes by interfering with normal hormonal activity. Endocrine disruptors are ubiquitous products of our industrial society and include such compounds as the pesticide DDT, the plasticizer bisphenol A, phthalates, and the synthetic ...

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.

Abstract During the past 50 years, there has been a huge increase in the number of chemical substances used worldwide as plasticizers, pesticides, detergents, paints, metal food cans, flame retardants, cosmetics, and chemical wastes, which exhibit the potential to interfere with the endocrine system of humans and animals. In addition, it
