Methylomic changes in individuals with psychosis, prenatally exposed to endocrine disrupting compounds: Lessons from diethylstilbestrol
BACKGROUND In the Western world, between 1940 and 1970, more than 2 million people were exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES). In exposed individuals, and in their descendants, adverse outcomes have been linked to such exposure, including cancers, genital malformations, and less consistently, psychiatric disorders. We aimed to explore whether prenatal DES exposure would be associated wit...
متن کاملInfertility among women exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol.
Although it is well established that women exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero have an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and preterm delivery, it is not known whether they also have an increased risk of infertility. The authors assessed this question in data from a collaborative follow-up study of the offspring of women who took diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy. I...
متن کاملGender-related behavior in women exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol.
Accumulating evidence in experimental animals over the past three decades suggests that mammalian brain development and differentiation of the central nervous system are influenced by perinatal exposure to sex hormones. Hence, changes in human behavioral patterns may be associated with prenatal exposure to estrogenic substances such as diethylstilbestrol (DES). This paper reviews relevant studi...
متن کاملPituitary tumors in mice exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol.
Hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas are among the abnormalities reported for women exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol (DES). To pursue this issue in an animal model replicating the other abnormalities of prenatal DES exposure, pituitary glands were studied in the offspring of CD-1 mice receiving an i.p. injection of 1 or 2 micrograms DES/g body weight during late pregnancy. Among 132 mic...
متن کاملComparative potential of black tea leaves waste to granular activated carbon in adsorption of endocrine disrupting compounds from aqueous solution
The adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. The results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...
