The impact of endocrine disruptors on the development of neuroendocrine tumors (literature review)
Last years more and more attention has been paid in the scientific literature to the role of chemicals that destroy the endocrine system. Endocrine disruptors are defined as "exogenous chemicals or a mixture of chemicals that interfere with any aspect of

Bisphenol A: An endocrine and metabolic disruptor
Bisphenol A (BPA), initially designed, like diethylstilbestrol, as a synthetic estrogen, has been rapidly and widely used for its cross-linking properties in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Because of incomplete polymerization and degradation of the polymers by exposure to higher than usual temperatures, BPA leaches out from

The anti-lipidemic drug simvastatin modifies epigenetic biomarkers in the amphipod Gammarus locusta
The adverse effects of certain environmental chemicals have been recently associated with the modulation of the epigenome. Although changes in the epigenetic signature have yet to be integrated into hazard and risk assessment, they are interesting ...
