It is generally known that there are many endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Most research has focused on the occurrence of estrogenic or androgenic activities, while ignoring that there are environmental chemicals disrupting thyroid system, which is essential for growth and development in both humans and animals. In the present work...

Fluorescence sensing of the interaction between biomembranes with different lipid composition and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) was carried out by using a liposome-encapsulating fluorescence dye (carboxyfluorescein (CF)-liposome). We detected a significant increase in fluorescence intensity in CF-liposome solutions due to the leakage of fluorescence caused by the interaction of EDCs wit...

Exposure to toxic industrial chemicals that have capacity to disrupt the endocrine system, also known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), has been increasingly associated with reproductive problems in human population. Bisphenol A (BPA; 4,4'-(propane-2,2-diyl)diphenol) and 4-tert-octylphenol (OP; 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol) are among the most common environmental contaminants poss...

Abstract Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a group of compounds that affect the endocrine system, frequently found in everyday products and epidemiologically associated with several diseases. The human population is now ubiquitously exposed to EDCs daily life. main way getting xenoestrogens body contaminated food. effects on proteolytic processes different age rats were determination. e...

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are an inevitable environmental pollutant due to their wide range of applications in the industrial sector. Deliberate or unkempt disposal materials containing EDCs has also significantly contributed its ecological exposure. Several natural and synthetic recognized which at low doses capable eliciting abnormal responses body, this is a threat life for both h...

Objective: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) in plastics may disrupt proper endocrine system functioning. Zebrafish embryos are formed through external fertilization, and their rapid development, short life cycle, transparency provide imaging advantages. In zebrafish embryos, neural crest development occurs similarly to other vertebrate crestin is found the during embryogenesis. The aim of o...

Various stimulants (VS) are chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system — homeostasis of reproductive which also known as endocrine-disrupting (EDCs). These substances found in human body, both blood and urine, amniotic fluid, or, among others, adipose tissue. This article presents current state knowledge effect EDCs additional factors such smoking, alcohol consumption, cannabis on gonads. The ...

The heritable component of breast cancer accounts for only a small proportion of total incidences. Environmental and lifestyle factors are therefore considered to among the major influencing components increasing breast cancer risk. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in the environment. The estrogenic property of EDCs has thus shown many associations between ongoing exposures ...

There is growing interest in the potential health threats posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to the reproductive system. Soybean is the most important dietary source of isoflavones, an important class of phytoestrogen. While consumption of soy food or phytoestrogen supplements has been frequently associated with beneficial health effects, the potentially adverse effects on developme...
