Hormone Disruption by PBDEs in Adult Male Sport Fish Consumers
BACKGROUND Persistent pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), affect endocrine function. Human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are similar in structure to PCBs, has increased recently, but health effects have not been well studied. OBJECTIVES Our goal in this study was to determine whether PBDE body burdens are related to thyroid and steroid hormone lev...
متن کاملAngling for Thyroid Answers: Study Links PBDEs to Hormone Disruption in Male Sport-Fish Consumers
Breastfed infants sit at the top of the food chain for the simple reason that their nourishment comes from other humans. Through biomagnification, environmental chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are passed up the food chain to the nursling.

متن کاملMetformin Exposure at Environmentally Relevant Concentrations Causes Potential Endocrine Disruption in Adult Male Fish
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants that have been found ubiquitously in wastewater and surface waters around the world. A major source of these compounds is incomplete metabolism in humans and subsequent excretion in human waste, resulting in discharge into surface waters by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent. One pharmaceutical found in particu...
