Obesogens: molecular signaling pathways in fish
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 * santos@ciimar.up.pt; filipe.castro@ciimar.up.pt In mammals, improper control of lipid metabolism may result in serious health problems such as obesity, increased risk of coronary disease, diabetes and related problems.

Metabolic disrupting effects of polychlorinated biphenyls revealed by long-term temporal variations of lipids in detritivorous fish from the Rio de la Plata Basin [PDF]
, 2021 The long-term covariation (2002-2017) of lipids, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and sewage tracers was studied in the detritivorous fish (Prochilodus lineatus) and settling detritus from the Rio de la Plata. Fatty fish from polluted Buenos Aires area (

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 2003-2018, June 2026.ABSTRACT Humans are chronically exposed to mixtures of environmental contaminants. Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contributes to increased health impairment observed globally. This study aimed to evaluate the endocrine‐disruptive and oxidative stress potential of a human‐relevant, complex chemical mixture in vitro.

The Mammalian "Obesogen" Tributyltin Targets Hepatic Triglyceride Accumulation and the Transcriptional Regulation of Lipid Metabolism in the Liver and Brain of Zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Recent findings indicate that different Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) interfere with lipid metabolic pathways in mammals and promote fat accumulation, a previously unknown site of action for these compounds.

Obesogenic environment and childhood obesity [PDF]
Obesity Reviews, 2020 SummaryThe increasing prevalence of obesity in youth has contributed to the growing global burden of chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancers), which has been largely accounted for by obesogenic behaviours and environments.

Pediatric Obesity, Volume 20, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Childhood obesity is a public health concern. Studies have investigated the effects of metal mixtures on childhood obesity but none have identified periods of heightened susceptibility of exposure. We identified the periods by investigating the association of metal mixture, measured at four time points, with adiposity.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 588-597, July 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem and the most common chronic liver disease today. In Korea, the prevalence and incidence of NAFLD are currently very high, causing a serious social burden. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been consistently implicated as a potential cause of NAFLD, but ...

Antioxidants, 2020 Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) disrupt the physiological metabolism, thus playing an important role in the development of obesity. EDCs, the so-called ‘obesogens’, might predispose some individuals to gain weight.
