Several sites of action can be involved between a drug/chemical and the endocrine system, including the central nervous system, specific target organs or subpopulation of cells, hormone-transporting proteins, and xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. At the endocrine target organ level, ...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can mimic natural hormone to interact with receptors in the endocrine system and thus disrupt the functions of the endocrine system, raising concerns on the public health. In addition to disruption of the endocrine system, some EDCs have been found associated wi...
SUMMARY In recent years, the possible effects of synthetic and naturally occurring chemicals with the potential to disrupt the endocrine system have been raised by scientists and environmental groups through the scientifi c literature, the Internet, books and television. These concerns were highlighted ...
Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): In Vitro Mechanism of Estrogenic Activation and Differential Effects on ER Target Genes Studies have shown that many synthetic and natural chemicals, classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), disrupt the normal endocrine system func...

Specific issues in health risk assessment of EDCs and correlated international activities thereof are discussed. Risk characterization is a synthesis of al... M Younes - 《Chemosphere》 被引量: 128发表: 1999年 The male reproductive system and its susceptibility to endocrine disrupting chemicals. Summa...
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interact with the hormone system to negative effect. They 'disrupt' normal processes to cause diseases like vaginal... AJ Abboud - Arizona State University. 被引量: 0发表: 2018年 Analysis of argumentation in the scientific debate on endocrine disrupting substa...
It may be challenging to totally cut out exposure to endocrine disruptors, Friedman said. “The biggest issue with EDCs is that they’re so pervasive in the environment and in everything we use,” she added. Skin care and personal care products are sources of exposure for both kids and adu...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances present in the environment that can interfere with the action of hormones and thus exert potentially adverse health effects on the human organism. Male reproductive system development and function may be susceptible to the effects of such environmental toxicant...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances present in the environment that can interfere with normal hormonal balance and thus exert potentially adverse health effects on the human organism. Male reproductive system development and function may be susceptible to the effects of such environmental toxicant...
