Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol targeting estrogen receptor signaling: the possible mechanism of action coupled with endocrine disruption.
Δ(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC), a biologically active constituent of marijuana, possesses a wide variety of pharmacological and toxicological effects (e.g., analgesia, hypotension, reduction of inflammation, and anti-cancer effects). Among Δ(9)-THC's biological activities, its recognized anti-estrogenic activity has been the subject of investigations. Since Δ(9)-THC is used as both a drug...

cancer effects (anti-proliferative and anti-migration effects).1–11) 9-THC’s biological activities, its recognized endocrine-disrupting effects, including anti-estrogenic activity, have been the subjects of previous investigations. It has been reported that chronic oral administration of marijuana resin is able to reduce fertility in female rats.12,13) 9-THC on reproductive behavior has been su...
متن کاملThyroid endocrine disruption and external body morphology of Zebrafish.
This study examined the effects thyroid-active compounds during early development on body morphology of Zebrafish (Danio rerio). Three-day postfertilization (dpf) larvae were exposed to goitrogen [methimazole (MZ, 0.15mM)], combination of MZ (0.15mM) and thyroxine (T4, 2nM), T4 (2nM), or control (reconstituted water) treatments until 33dpf and subsequently maintained in reconstituted water unti...
متن کاملEnvironmental obesogens: organotins and endocrine disruption via nuclear receptor signaling.
Over the last two decades, the incidence of obesity and associated metabolic syndrome diseases has risen dramatically, becoming a global health crisis. Increased caloric intake and decreased physical activity are believed to represent the root causes of this dramatic rise. However, recent findings highlight the possible involvement of environmental obesogens, xenobiotic chemicals that can disru...
متن کاملEnvironmental signaling: a biological context for endocrine disruption.
Endogenous and exogenous chemical signals have evolved as a means for organisms to respond to physical or biological stimuli in the environment. Sensitivity to these signals can make organisms vulnerable to inadvertent signals from xenobiotics. In this review we discuss how various chemicals can interact with steroid-like signaling pathways, especially estrogen. Numerous compounds have estrogen...
