Statistical issues in the analysis of low-dose endocrine disruptor data.
UNLABELLED The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) recently cosponsored the Endocrine Disruptors Low-Dose Peer REVIEW The purpose of this meeting was to examine data supporting the presence or absence of low-dose effects of endocrine disruptors in specific studies and then to evaluate the likelihood and significan...
متن کاملStatistical Power Considerations Show the Endocrine Disruptor Low-Dose Issue in a New Light
BACKGROUND The endocrine disruptor field has been vexed by difficulties in reproducing various claims of effects at unusually low doses. In previous analyses, variations in control responses from experiment to experiment and problems with observing effects in positive controls have been identified as possible explanations of the resulting impasse. OBJECTIVE In this article, we argue that both...
متن کاملVitellogenin assay by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a biomarker of endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) pollution
There are increasing evidences that show many xenobiotic chemicals (called as endocrine disruptorchemicals EDCs) through interfering with endocrine system, have the capability to induce developmentaland reproductive abnormalities in humans and animals. The yolk protein precursor vitellogenin (VTG) hasproved to be a simple and sensitive biomarker for assessing exposure of fish to EDCs especially...
متن کاملCytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol A as an Endocrine Disruptor on Human Lymphocytes
Background: Endocrine compounds, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), stimulate or inhibit the activities of hormones, nuclear receptors in the central nervous system, liver and other organs. They may be disposed of in the environment inadverdently around industrial sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of BPA on human lymphocytes in culture at varying concentrations. Method...
متن کاملTopic 3.15 Endocrine disruption occurring at doses lower than those predicted by classical chemical toxicity evaluations: The case of bisphenol A*
The meaning of the term “low dose” is discussed in relation to endocrine toxicity data for chemicals. Consideration is also given to experimental conditions likely to impinge on the interpretation and extrapolation of such low-dose effects, and the importance of gathering appropriate control data is emphasized. In the specific case of bisphenol A (BPA), it is concluded that despite the extensiv...
