Plastics and pesticides are examples of products that contain oestrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EEDCs, which can interfere with mammalian development by mimicking the action of the sex hormone oestradiol. For instance, the exposure of developing rodents to high doses of EEDCs advances ...

Mycotoxins contaminate a substantial proportion of a variety ...
Recent advances in the structure and function of Clostridium difficile- toxins Luminal exposure of human or rodent colon or ileum to toxins causes actin filament disaggregation in enterocytes resulting in increased paracellular permeability. This is followed by an acute inflammatory reaction in the lamina...
