Reproductive effects of male dioxin exposure. The use of offspring sex ratios to detect reproductive effects of male exposure to dioxins.
The Use of Offspring Sex Ratios to Detect Reproductive Effects of Male Exposure to Dioxins Toppari et al. [EHP 104(suppl 4): 741-803(1996)], writing of the possible effects of dioxin, remark that no reproductive disorders in adults have been described after the accident in 1976 in Seveso, Italy. Publications since the submission of this paper put this assertion into perspective. There is good e...
متن کاملOccupational exposure and effects on the male reproductive system.
A significant increase in the incidence of male infertility has been described in the international literature, raising questions about its causes. Part of this effect may result from synthetic toxic substances acting on the endocrine system (endocrine disruptors), many of which are routinely used in work processes. We provide a critical review of the specialized literature on work-related chem...
متن کاملEffects of Pesticides on Male Reproductive Functions
Exposure to pesticides could be one of the contributing cause to the falling sperm counts and rising levels of male infertility. Adverse effects of pesticides in the environment first received widespread attention in the 1960s. However, only recently it has been postulated that long term, low exposure of these chemicals are increasingly linked to human health effects such as immuno-suppression,...
متن کاملEffects of carbamazepine on male reproductive hormones
Background :Reproductive endocrine disorders and sexual dysfunction are common among men with epilepsy. We investigated sexual hormone serum levels among men with newly diagnosed epilepsy, before starting any antiepileptic drug (AED), and then after starting carbamazepine (CBZ), to determine the role and effects of epilepsy versus CBZ in creating reproductive endocrine disorders. Methods : ...
متن کاملDioxin: exposure-response analyses and risk assessment.
Low-levels of dioxin cause cancer in animals. In 1997 dioxin was found to be a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, based largely on four studies of industrial workers exposed to high levels. Recently there has been interest in estimating human cancer risk at low level environmental exposures. Here we review quantitative exposure-response analyses and risk assess...
