Endocrine Aspects of Environmental “Obesogen” Pollutants [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016
Growing evidence suggests the causal link between the endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and the global obesity epidemics, in the context in the so-called “obesogenic environment”. Dietary intake of contaminated foods and water, especially in association with unhealthy eating pattern, and inhalation of airborne pollutants represent the major sources

Trapped fat: Obesity pathogenesis as an intrinsic disorder in metabolic fuel partitioning

Obesity Reviews, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2024.
Summary Our understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity remains at best incomplete despite a century of research. During this time, two alternative perspectives have helped shape thinking about the etiology of the disorder. The currently prevailing view holds that excessive fat accumulation results because energy intake exceeds energy expenditure ...

Metabolic disrupting chemicals in the intestine: the need for biologically relevant models

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 1397-1419, September 2024.
In this review, we aimed to study how the intestine may be disrupted by metabolic endocrine disruptors (MDCs) both in its own metabolism and in its relationships with other organs. Zebrafish shares numerous similarities with human gastrointestinal tract, representing an opportunity to study the complex interactions of MDCs at the intestinal level and ...

Associations between paediatric obesity, chemical mixtures and environmental factors, in a national cross‐sectional study of Canadian children

Pediatric Obesity, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2024.
Summary Background Whilst single chemical exposures are suspected to be obesogenic, the combined role of chemical mixtures in paediatric obesity is not well understood. Objectives We aimed to evaluate the potential associations between chemical mixtures and obesity in a population‐based sample of Canadian children.

Exposure to 4,4′‐DDE in visceral adipose tissue and weight loss in adolescents from the Teen‐LABS cohort

Obesity, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1023-1032, May 2024.
Abstract Objective Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), an obesogen accumulating in adipose tissue, is released into circulation with weight loss, although its impact is underexplored among adolescents. We tested the association using an integrative translational approach of epidemiological analysis among adolescents with obesity and in vitro ...
