Relationships of polychlorinated biphenyls and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) with testosterone levels in adolescent males. [PDF]

Environ Health Perspect, 2014
Background: Concern persists over endocrine-disrupting effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on human growth and sexual maturation. Potential effects of toxicant exposures on testosterone levels during puberty are not well characterized ...

Chlorinated biphenyls and p,p'-DDE in Mediterranean surface waters [PDF]

Croatica Chemica Acta, 1997
Individual chlorobiphenyls (CBs) and p,p'-DDE were determined in solution and suspension in surface transects of the open Mediterranean Sea in 1987. Large volumes of sea water (1400—1700 dm3) were analyzed. Concentrations of CBs were low in solution (

p,p'-DDE activates CatSper and compromises human sperm function at environmentally relevant concentrations. [PDF]

Hum Reprod, 2013
Is the environmental endocrine disruptor p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) able to induce non-genomic changes in human sperm and consequently affect functional sperm parameters?p,p'-DDE promoted Ca(2+) flux into human sperm by activating CatSper channels even at doses found in human reproductive fluids, ultimately compromising sperm ...

Exposure to p,p'-DDE: a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2009
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as PCBs, DDT and dioxins have in several cross-sectional studies shown strong associations with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Reversed causality can however not be excluded. The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate whether POPs concentration is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.A case-control study was ...

Environmental Organochlorines and Semen Quality: Results of a Pilot Study [PDF]

, 2012
There have been numerous studies that suggest that sperm concentrations (sperm counts) are declining in men. However, other studies suggest that sperm counts are not declining or may be increasing in some areas.

Exposure to CB-153 and p,p'-DDE and male reproductive function [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 2004
During the last decades, there has been concern that exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), may contribute to an impairment of male reproductive function. To investigate whether exposure to 2,2'4,4'5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (CB-153) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-ethylene (p,p'-DDE) affects semen

Prenatal and postnatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and Infant growth: A pooled analysis of seven european birth cohorts [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Infant exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may contribute to obesity. However, many studies so far have been small, focused on transplacental exposure, used an inappropriate measure to assess postnatal exposure through ...
