Improves immunity The far-infrared rays released by graphene can enhance human immunity and allow the body to enhance its self-healing function, promote endocrine stability and reduce the risk of various diseases invading the body. ...
A modified tier 1 EDSP 21‐day fish short‐term reproduction assay (FSTRA) was used to evaluate the effects of sediment exposure from freshwater and brackish ponds in Bermuda on reproductive fecundity and endocrine function in fathead minnow (pimephales promelas) and killifish (fundulus heteroclitus). ...
Interactions between insulin signaling and steroidogenesis suggest potential endocrine‐disrupting effects of metformin found in the aquatic environment. ...
As knowledge of contaminants capable of adversely modulating endocrine functions increases, attention is focused on the effects of synthetic progestins as environmental endocrine disrupters. ...
Potential impacts on native fish species exposed to known endocrine disrupting chemicals such as atrazine, simazine and diuron have not been assessed. Here, we examine the endocrine and physiological effects of short‐term, acute exposure of environmentally relevant concentrations of analytical grade atrazine in juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) in a ...
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widespread and persistent chemical in the environment. We investigated the endocrine‐disrupting effects of PFOS using a combination of in vitro and in vivo assays. ...
