Baby formulas are foods designed and marketed for feeding babies. The use of baby is increasing worldwide due to various reasons. In parallel, there concern about endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in formulas. EDCs cover a large class able interact with the system. can disrupt many different hormones, so they linked numerous adverse outcomes human health. Babies more sensitive environmental...

The so called endocrine disruptors have become an important working hypothesis for a wide range of toxicology researchers. This hypothesis has also attracted those who have worked on designer estrogens or selective estrogen receptor modulators. Already numbers of substances have been identified as such chemicals, but there remain a large number of chemicals waiting to be tested for their endocr...

Pharmed Fish Results from a recent pilot study of the uptake of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by fish in U.S. rivers have garnered considerable attention since they were pub­ lished online 25 March 2009 ahead of print in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The study, led by Baylor University chemistry pro­ fessor C. Kevin Chambliss and environmental science professor Br...

The placenta and its myriad functions are central to successful reproductive outcomes. These functions can be influenced by the environment encountered throughout pregnancy, thereby altering the appropriate genetic programming needed to allow for sustained pregnancy and appropriate fetal development. This altered programming may result from epigenetic alterations related to environmental exposu...

A wide range of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds enter freshwaters globally. As these contaminants are transported through aquatic food webs, understanding their impacts on both terrestrial ecosystems remains a major challenge. Here, we provide the first direct evidence transfer disruptors aquatic-terrestrial habitat linkage by emerging insects. We also show that type insect m...

A new position statement from The Endocrine Society provides a strong argument for scientists in industry, government, and academia to work together, across disciplines, to improve testing of chemicals as potential endocrine disruptors. 1 the statement focuses on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) to illustrate how fundamental endocrinology ...
