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...
are the two main causes of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).An exogenous chemical or mixture of chemicals that interferes with any aspect of hormone action was defined as endocrine-disrupting chemicals(EDCs).Bisphenol A(BPA),the first known EDC,was synthesized and was considered to be estrogenic....
A chemical that may imitate or block the function of natural hormones if it is absorbed by the body. Many pesticides and plasticizing compounds, e.g., phthalates, are thought to disrupt endocrine pathways, esp. if they are absorbed by pregnant women during embryonic and fetal development. Med...

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...
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 ...
but they are also widely used in pesticides and food packaging plastics. High-molecular-weight phthalates include several compounds that are mainly used to make plastics more flexible and durable, therefore as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride materials. Among them, the most commonly used additive ...
The endocrine system is one of the signalling systems used to control the processes required for life. Other signalling systems include the nervous system and the immune system. These systems are integrated, which means that disruption of one can result in disturbances in the others. 展开 ...

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
