Unique Perspectives on the Obesogenic Environment [PDF]
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2007 We all live in an obesogenic environment. 1 The availability of high energy dense, palatable, inexpensive food is only surpassed by the mechanized labor-saving and entertainment devices designed to keep us from moving too much. We have evolved from a society of hunter–gatherers to a society of drivethrough picker-uppers.

Update of the risk assessment of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in food
EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2011 risk assessment on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in food, focusing on 10 congeners: BDE‐28, ‐47, ‐49, ‐99, ‐100, ‐138, ‐153, ‐154, ‐183 and ‑209. The CONTAM Panel concluded that the neurodevelopmental effects on behaviour and reproductive/developmental effects are the critical ...

Endocrine disruption and obesity: A current review on environmental obesogens
Current Research in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, 2020 Obesity represents an important public health concern because it substantially increases the risk of multiple chronic diseases and thereby contributing to a decline in both quality of life and life expectancy.

DEHP deregulates adipokine levels and impairs fatty acid storage in human SGBS-adipocytes
Scientific Reports, 2018 DEHP is a plasticizer which has been used in plastic products of everyday use for decades. Studies in mice and murine cell culture models identified DEHP as an endocrine disruptor that may also act as an obesogen. As this is of high concern in respect of

Zebrafish obesogenic test: a tool for screening molecules that target adiposity
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Dietary and xenobiotic compounds may alter endocrine signaling and lipid homeostasis, thus inducing obesity. We describe a short-term assay method, the zebrafish obesogenic (ZO) test, for examining the effects of diet, drugs, and environmental ...

Organotins: Sources and Impacts on Health and Environment [PDF]
, 2018 Organotin compounds are used as biocides, plastic stabilizers, and catalysts for the production of polyurethanes and silicones. Their notoriety is due to tributyltin (TBT), a potent biocide extensively used in antifouling paints until the beginning of ...

Triclosan induced obesity via gut microbiota dysbiosis and butyrate reduction
Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyTriclosan (TCS) can influence energy metabolism and is a potential obesogen. However, its underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study investigated how low-dose TCS exposure (0.5 mg/kg/day) disrupts energy metabolism in Sprague–Dawley rats ...
