Topic 3.16 Environmental estrogens and sperm counts*
The term “environmental estrogen” refers to chemical substances that exhibit some degree of estrogen-like activity. The primary emphasis for potential adverse effects resulting from exposure to environmental estrogens is on in utero exposure because such exposure can occur during critical periods of organogenesis. Assessment of biological plausibility can be based, in part, on the extensive dat...
متن کاملThe Presence of 17 Beta-Estradiol in the Environment: Health Effects and Increasing Environmental Concerns
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as active biological compounds can pose a threat to the environment through acute and chronic toxicity in organisms, accumulation in the ecosystem, and loss of habitats and biodiversity. They also have a range of possible adverse effects on environmental...
متن کاملDifferential Regulation of Dopamine Transporter Function and Location by Low Concentrations of Environmental Estrogens and 17β-Estradiol
BACKGROUND The effects of 17beta-estradiol (E2) and xenoestrogens (XEs) on dopamine transport may have important implications for the increased incidence of neurologic disorders, especially in women during life stages characterized by frequent hormonal fluctuations. OBJECTIVE We examined low concentrations of XEs [dieldrin, endosulfan, o', p'-dichlorodiphenyl-ethylene (DDE), nonylphenol (NP),...
متن کاملEffects of Panax ginseng, zearalenol, and estradiol on sperm function
BACKGROUND Estrogen signaling pathways are modulated by exogenous factors. Panax ginseng exerts multiple activities in biological systems and is classified as an adaptogen. Zearalenol is a potent mycoestrogen that may be present in herbs and crops arising from contamination or endophytic association. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of P. ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol in...
متن کاملEnvironmental Estrogens
John A. McLachlan and Steven F. Arnold n many ways, the story of the pesticide DDT is the story of America's attitude toward synthetic chemicals in the environment. DDT was the first of many new pesticides that people hoped would improve the quality of their lives, but gradually it became clear that such progress often had a cost. DDT was one of the first environmental chemical agents to*be ban...
