Novel trends in endocrine disruptor testing: the H295R Steroidogenesis Assay for identification of inducers and inhibitors of hormone production.
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing concern about the possible impacts of exposure to chemicals in the environment on endocrine and reproductive systems in humans and wildlife [1]. To address these concerns, national and international programs have been initiated to develop new guidelines for the screening and testing of potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in verteb...
متن کاملA promising approach to scale up health care improvements in low-and middle-income countries: the Wave-Sequence Spread Approach and the concept of the Slice of a System [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/37o]

There are fewer examples of successes that have spread to the remainder of the systems they were developed in. This article discusses the wave-sequence approach, which is a type of spread focusing on spreading in a systematic, sequential...
متن کاملLack of estrogenic or antiestrogenic actions of soy isoflavones in an avian model: the Japanese quail.
Isoflavones are soy compounds that possess weak estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities. In addition, phytochemicals, including isoflavones, may play a role in regulating seasonal reproductive cycles. As soy is a common constituent in poultry diets, the effect of these compounds on the reproductive system of production birds may be of concern. The present study examined the putative effects of...
متن کاملPossible interrelations among environmental toxicants, amphibian development, and decline of amphibian populations.
Many amphibian populations are declining in a number of geographical locations throughout the world. In most cases, the cause or causes are unknown, but are assumed to result from man-made alterations in the environment. We review existing evidence concerning how environmental xenobiotics could contribute to declines of amphibian populations by impacting growth and development of the young. Thi...
