Endocrine Disruption Articles & Analysis

Given their profound impact, it's clear that any disruption in their production, signaling, or metabolism can have significant health consequences. ...
Understanding the Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system comprises the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries, which work together to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Any disruption in this system can lead to conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. ...
A number of the emerging contaminants associated with having a harmful effect on the endocrine system have been recognized as endocrine disrupting chemicals. ...

It has been well proven that endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can accumulate in river sediments. ...
The public consultation asks whether the EU should have the same approach across regulatory sectors (e.g., industrial chemicals, cosmetics, plant protection products, biocides, food) to identify endocrine disruptors and manage the risks of exposure to endocrine disruptors. ...
The answer is that some PPCPs are known to disrupt the human endocrine system and can harm human health and the environment in other ways. ...
An assessment of the legal status of the substances with evidence or potential evidence of endocrine disrupting effects showed, that most of them are already subject to a ban or restriction or are addressed under existing Community legislation, although for reasons not necessarily related to endocrine disruption. ...
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can impact the reproductive system by interfering with the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis. While in vitro testing methods have been developed to screen chemicals for endocrine disruption, extrapolation of in vitro response to in vivo action shows inconsistent accuracy. ...
Phthalic acid esters are frequently detected in aquatic environment. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to low concentrations (0, 0.46, 4.0, and 37.5 µg/L) of mono‐(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) for 81 days, and the effects on reproduction, gamete quality, plasma vitellogenin (VTG), sex steroids, and transcriptional profiles of key genes involved in steroidogenesis were investigated. The ...
He also has hands-on experience assessing for potential endocrine disrupting effects of preservatives, sunscreens, fragrances, and antimicrobials. ...
Direct linkages between endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) from municipal and industrial wastewaters and impacts on wild fish assemblages are rare. ...
The chemical UV filter benzophenone‐3 (BP‐3) is suspected to be an endocrine disruptor based on results from in vitro and in vivo testing. However, studies including endpoints of endocrine adversity are lacking. The present study investigated the potential endocrine disrupting effects of BP‐3 in zebrafish (Danio rerio) in the ...
The highest exposures were in the Fen and Wei tributaries. Endocrine disruption risk from estrogens was predicted to be minimal in the main stem. ...
This paper reports on short‐term fish reproduction assays in zebrafish and fathead minnow conducted to examine the potential for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) to cause effects on the endocrine system. Both studies were performed under Good Laboratory Practice and in accordance with OECD and USEPA test guidelines. ...
Bisphenol A acts as an endocrine disruptor, affects animal reproductive success in vivo, and affects sperm functions in vitro at environmentally relevant concentrations leading to reduction in sperm motility and fertilizing ability in fish. The effect of in vitro BPA on avian sperm functions has not been explored. We tested the effect of environmentally relevant concentrations of BPA (0, 0.18, ...
Pesticide research has traditionally focused on compounds with high acute toxicity and/or persistence, but the adverse sublethal effects of pesticides with different properties may also have important consequences on exposed wildlife. The authors studied the effects of thiram, a fungicide used for seed coating with known effects as endocrine disruptor. Red‐legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) ...
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. ...
The environmental fate and transport of steroid growth promoters suggest potential for endocrine disrupting effects among ecological receptors; however, the initial excretion of steroid metabolites from cattle administered growth promoters has not been well characterized. ...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the androgenic endocrine disruptor 17β‐trenbolone on the sexual development of zebrafish (Danio rerio) with special emphasis on the question whether adverse outcomes of developmental exposure are reversible or persistent. An exposure scenario including a recovery phase was chosen to assess the potential reversibility of androgenic ...
