the lowest dose at which adverse eff ects occur5. Low-dose studies are generally considered to be environmentally relevant doses (doses resulting in serum levels similar to those found in human serum). Prenatal and adult BPA exposure in males can decrease levels of circulating testosterone levels in mice and rats (6 and references therein). Some studies report increased adult prostate size in o...
متن کاملXeno-oestrogens and phyto-oestrogens are alternative ligands for the androgen receptor.
The androgen receptor (AR) plays a critical role in prostate cancer development and progression. This study aimed to use a computerized docking approach to examine the interactions between the human AR and phyto-oestrogens (genistein, daidzein, and flavone) and xeno-oestrogens (bisphenol A, 4-nonylphenol, dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane [DDT], diethylstilbestrol [DES]). The predicted three-dim...

متن کاملOnm-9: Pollution and Fertility
Air is our main contact with the environment in which wefind ourselves. Every day, we breathe in 15 kg of air; that’s more than our daily food intake. Air, in cities and confined environments where houses are really close together, consists of particles of different sizes charged of chemical pollutants. The finer particles will come into contact with the alveoli and will allow some pollutants g...
متن کاملXeno-oestrogens and phyto-oestrogens induce the synthesis of leukaemia inhibitory factor by human and bovine oviduct cells.
In bovine oviduct cells 17beta-oestradiol can induce the synthesis of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a glycoprotein essential for embryo implantation. Therefore substances which are structurally similar to 17beta-oestradiol and possess oestrogenic activity may also modulate LIF synthesis and influence the reproductive process. We used primary cultures of bovine and human oviduct cells (epit...
