Evaluating the effects of endocrine disruptors on endocrine function during development.
The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal systems: estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones. These three hormonal systems have been well characterized with regard to their roles in normal development, and their act...
متن کاملEndocrine disruptors and testis development.
After serving on a panel convened by the U.S. EPA on epidemiological studies needed for evaluation of possible health risks of MTBE as a fuel additive, I feel that the article is quite informative and will no doubt be useful for those contemplating further use of oxygenated fuels. There are two matters that I feel are of some importance , and about them the article is silent. First, the report ...
متن کاملEffects of Environmental Endocrine Disruptors on Pubertal Development
The onset and course of puberty are under the control of the neuroendocrine system. Factors affecting the timing and regulation of the functions of this system may alter the onset and course of puberty. Several environmental endocrine disruptors (EDs) with significant influences on the normal course of puberty have been identified. Numerous animal and human studies concerning EDs have been cond...
متن کاملModeling the Demographic Effects of Endocrine Disruptors
In this article we describe a series of strategic models of populations and individuals subject to challenge by endocrine disruptors. These models are not designed to be fitted to detailed data on specific species but rather are intended to provide general insights on the relative importance of different demographic mechanisms in the population context. Therefore, the models contain the minimum...
متن کاملEndocrine Disruptors
Law and science combine in the estimation of risks from endocrine disruptors (EDs) and actions for their regulation. For both, dose–response models are the causal link between exposure and probability (or percentage change) of adverse response. The evidence that leads to either regulations or judicial decrees is affected by uncertainty and limited knowledge, raising difficult policy issues that...
