Developing a marker of exposure to xenoestrogen mixtures in human serum.
It has been hypothesized that environmental estrogens may play a role in the increasing incidence of breast cancer, testicular cancer, and other problems of the reproductive system. While a single causal agent can be identified in cases in which humans have had occupational exposures, wildlife showing signs of reproductive damage have usually been exposed to a combination of endocrine disruptor...
متن کاملAlkaline Phosphatase in Serum is a Marker of Human Toxocariasis
Background: The present study was carried out on the human population of Kashmir valley to evaluate the status of the biochemical parameters of infected population. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 514 individuals, 298 (57.97%) males and 216 (42.02%) females, 187 (36.38%) were found sero-positive for human toxocariasis. Results: Alkaline phosphatase level was found highe...
متن کاملDevelopment of a marker of estrogenic exposure in human serum.
The deleterious, disruptive effects of estrogen mimics on the endocrine system were discovered after the compounds were released into the environment. Their chemical structure does not obviously resemble that of steroid hormones; hence, their estrogenic effects were totally unexpected. In addition to occupational exposures, environmental estrogens may have played a role in decreasing the quanti...
متن کاملNon-Genomic Effects of Xenoestrogen Mixtures
Xenoestrogens (XEs) are chemicals derived from a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources that can interfere with endogenous estrogens by either mimicking or blocking their responses via non-genomic and/or genomic signaling mechanisms. Disruption of estrogens' actions through the less-studied non-genomic pathway can alter such functional end points as cell proliferation, peptide hormone rel...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
