Endocrine disruptors and testis development.
After serving on a panel convened by the U.S. EPA on epidemiological studies needed for evaluation of possible health risks of MTBE as a fuel additive, I feel that the article is quite informative and will no doubt be useful for those contemplating further use of oxygenated fuels. There are two matters that I feel are of some importance , and about them the article is silent. First, the report ...
متن کاملEndocrine disruptors and abnormalities of pubertal development.
Onset and development of puberty is regulated by the neuroendocrine system. Population-based studies worldwide have observed secular trends towards earlier puberty development. These changes are apparently caused by environmental factors such as improved socio-economic status, improved health care and nutrition. However, they may also partly result from endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the env...
متن کاملAdverse effects of endocrine disruptors on the foetal testis development: focus on the phthalates.
There are great concerns about the increasing incidence of abnormalities in male reproductive function. Human sperm counts have markedly dropped and the rate of testicular cancer has clearly augmented over the past four decades. Moreover, the prevalence rates of cryptorchidism and hypospadias are also probably increasing. It has been hypothesized that all these adverse trends in male reproducti...
متن کاملEndocrine Disruptors
Law and science combine in the estimation of risks from endocrine disruptors (EDs) and actions for their regulation. For both, dose–response models are the causal link between exposure and probability (or percentage change) of adverse response. The evidence that leads to either regulations or judicial decrees is affected by uncertainty and limited knowledge, raising difficult policy issues that...
متن کاملEndocrine Disruptors and Obesity
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review was to summarise current evidence that some environmental chemicals may be able to interfere in the endocrine regulation of energy metabolism and adipose tissue structure. RECENT FINDINGS Recent findings demonstrate that such endocrine-disrupting chemicals, termed "obesogens", can promote adipogenesis and cause weight gain. This includes compounds ...
