Nonylphenol isomers differ in estrogenic activity.
Nonylphenol belongs to the most investigated xenohormones acting at the estrogen receptor. Technical nonylphenol contains approximately 20 para-substituted isomers. Because of limitations in testing and quantifying all 20 isomers in the mixture, the linear form, 4n-NP, is often used as a reference substance, even though it is not present in the technical mixture. Here, we report on the synthesi...
متن کاملTibolone : A Selective Tissue Estrogenic Activity Regulator
Tibolone is a STEAR (Selective tissue estrogenic activity regulator) (1). It is a synthetic steroid with tissue selectivity that has progestogenic, some androgenic as well as estrogenic effects. It has been used as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy in several European countries for almost 2 decades, primarily for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis and treatment of climac...
متن کاملSerum Lipid and Estrogenic Effects
THE profound changes in the serum lipids resulting from estrogen administration to men and women with coronary heart disease have been documented in several laboratories.1-6 But these presumably "favorable " alterations have been offset by undesirable estrogenic side-effects, especially in middle-aged men.3'4 Among many measures suggested to avoid the side-effects, including very low estrogen d...
متن کاملParabens Effects on Estrogenic Receptors of C13 Cell Line
Ovarian cancer is one of the major causes of death in women. Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, they mimic estrogens, which are known to play a role in the development of different cancers in women. The Aim of this study was to investigate the proliferative effects of Methyl Paraben (MP) and Propyl Paraben (PP) on human ovaria...
متن کاملAssessment of total effective xenoestrogen burden in adipose tissue and identification of chemicals responsible for the combined estrogenic effect.
Test systems to screen for estrogenicity and appropriate biomarkers of human exposure are required for epidemiological studies of endocrine disruption. We addressed these issues by developing and standardising a method to assess the total estrogenic xenobiotic burden in human adipose tissue. In this study, which is the continuation of a previous work, we have improved the protocol for extensive...
