Carcinogenetic mechanisms of endocrine disruptors in female cancers (Review)
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are pollutants that alter the endocrine system and are involved in carcinogenesis. EDs have multiple and complex levels of action. They can affect the synthesis, release and transport of natural hormones. In target tissues, EDs can reduce or increase the effects of natural hormones on their receptors and change signaling cascades. When ED exposure happens at critical ...

Research Most (90–100%) vitamin D is produced endogenously following solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) of precursors within sun-exposed skin (Holick 1994). Only a few foods, such as oily fish, contain significant amounts of vitamin D naturally (Holick 1994). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is widely recognized as the best measure of vitamin D status (Holick 2004a), and reflects UVR exposure...
