ENDOCRINE glandsEndocrine disruptors are known to cause harmful effects to human through various exposure routes. These chemicals mainly appear to interfere with the endocrine or hormone systems. As importantly,
Many people of color are exposed to greater levels of endocrine disruptors, Bloom said. Some researchers have speculated that is because products marketed toward them, including hair care products, have higher concentrations, Bloom said. “Someone that’s going through their regular routine using thei...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can contribute to the development of certain disorders and are known to have a high health-care burden in some countries. A new analysis has revealed the substantial impact of EDCs on health and associated costs in the USA....
We review the effect of known protective and dangerous compounds such as the endocrine disruptors on aromatase activity focusing on the so-called emerging pollutants that are warning the world attention owing to their wide use and the potential to contaminate surface water. Key Concepts Aromatase is...
In this Review, Foulds et al. posit that endocrine-disrupting chemicals are an unappreciated driver of the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Experimental animal studies supporting this association are discussed, together wi
Abstract Ultraviolet solar radiation is a well-known environmental health risk factor and the use of sun lotions is encouraged to achieve protection mainly from skin cancer. Sun lotions are cosmetic commercial products that combine active and inactive ingredients and many of these are associated with ...
Briefly, DAGs are causal diagrams that can be used as a starting point for identifying variables that must be controlled for in statistical models to obtain unconfounded estimates (69). The use of DAGS along with additional causal analytic methods should lead toward a clearer understanding of ...

seasonal breeder fish species that develop a testis during the first three years of life; however, as they are not able to spawn at the first year, it is only consider two consecutive mature RC of males: the first and second RC during the second and third year of life, respectively. Aft...
Today, modern forms of chemical pollution that are widespread in the environment exhibit neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and endocrine disrupting properties that have the potential for persistent negative effects when disrupting key developmental events. Susceptibility to environmental exposures during the...
