Studies of the effects of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) on invertebrates are still largely underrepresented. This work aims to fill this gap by assessing the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and vinclozolin (Vz) on the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber (common rough woodlouse). Male adult and sexually undifferentiated juvenile woodlice were exposed to the toxicants. Effects on molting reg...

This study demonstrates the application feasibility of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in measuring estrogen (17β-estradiol) in gas phase. The present biosensor gives a linear response (R2 = 0.999) for 17β-estradiol vapor concentration from 3.7 ng/L to 3.7 × 10-4 ng/L with a limit of detection (3.7 × 10-4 ng/L). The results show that the fabricated biosensor demonstrates better det...

The presence and distribution of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the mariculture fish from Pulau Kukup, Johor Malaysia have been studied along with impact on human health. Six different species were collected, due to their high consumption Asian region—especially Malaysia, assess levels EDCs. highest concentration EDCs detected muscle was dexamethasone (2.37–15.84 ng/g) (0.77–13.41 ng/...

The occurrence of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been determined in two widely consumed fish species from Persian Gulf i.e., Epinephelus coioides and Platycephalus indicus by applying a validated analytical for the simultaneous detection fourteen EDCs. concentrations all detected EDCs were greater liver than muscle (except bisphenol A P. indicus), suggesting prolonged exposure fishes...

Even though high doses of organic pollutants are toxic, relatively low concentrations have been reported to cause long-term alterations in functioning of individual organisms, populations and even next generations. Among these pollutants are dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plasticizers (bisphenol A, nonylphenol, and phthalates) as well as personal ca...

Abstract At present, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have gained attention in human pathophysiology, and many studies yet been conducted to explain the mechanism of these chemical compounds on reproductive dysfunctions. In maximum focus towards exposure their disorders different axises though sufficient information are not available systems human. A huge number EDCs resulting interference...

In the central and peripheral nervous systems, myelin is essential for efficient conduction of action potentials. During development, oligodendrocytes Schwann cells differentiate ensure axon myelination, disruption these processes can contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. adults, demyelination lead important disabilities, recovery capacities by remyelination often decrease with disease pr...

Exposure to exogenous chemicals can affect endocrine function at multiple sites and through numerous specific modes of action, which may have far-reaching effects on human health and development. Widespread human exposure to known or suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been documented in the United States and worldwide, as have trends for increased rates of endocrine-related dis...

A gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS) method was developed and optimized for the determination of 17 endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in coastal water samples. The evaluated EDCs were from different origins and included estrogens, bisphenol A, alkylphenolethoxylates, alkylphenols, phytoestrogens and sitosterol (SITO). The EDCs were extracted from samples using Oasi...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to produce plastic and derived products in multitude of daily utensils, being one the industrial compounds most widely used. This endocrine disrupting chemical (EDCs) a well-known environmental pollutant released into aquatic environment from wastewater, sewage sludge or landfill leachate. Aromatases are considered potential targets EDCs with characteristics that make ...
