Abstract:

Environmental toxicants are ubiquitous throughout the environment as a result of human activity. Among these toxicants, environmental estrogens are a category of particular concern due to their environmental prevalence and potency in altering reproductive traits. While many studies have addressed the detrimental effects of environmental estrogens on both aquatic and terrestrial organisms, few have analyzed the potential for these compounds to alter mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the primary energy-generating system for all eukaryotic life, supporting all aspects of development, metab

Abstract:

The ubiquitous presence of anthropogenic chemicals and their transformation products in surface water represents a toxicological concern from both an ecological standpoint and a human perspective as many of these chemicals are capable of altering hormonal function. Endocrine disrupting compounds can be traced back to numerous sources and may fall under the class of pesticide, industrial chemical, pharmaceutical, personal care product, and/or heavy metals. The adrenal gland is the most common target for endocrine disruptors, although in comparison to the sex steroids, this system has received m

Abstract:

Many chemicals released into the environment are believed to disrupt normal endocrine functions in humans and animals. These endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect reproductive health and development. A major group of EDCs that could be responsible for reproductive effects are those that mimic natural oestrogens, known as xeno-oestrogens. A number of in vivo and in vitro screening strategies are being developed to identify and classify xeno-oestrogens, in order to determine whether they pose a health risk to humans and animals. It is also important to be able to apply the assays to envir

Abstract:

Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are known testicular toxicants, used commonly as industrial plasticizers that are found in everyday items. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most abundant phthalate in the environment, and its primary metabolite mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is ten-fold more potent. The purpose of this study is to examine the cellular and molecular effects of MEHP in the development of testicular cancer. Proliferation was measured for NT2 cells exposed to 10µM and 100µM MEHP at 24 and 48 hours and for cells under controlled conditions. Me

Abstract:

The endocrine system is vulnerable to a range of chemicals in the environment. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous agents that can induce responses on the endocrine system because of their hormone-like activity and toxicity. Specific to this study are thyroid disrupting chemicals (TDCs), these are EDCs that specifically disrupt the thyroid hormone signalling pathway, and this may result in adverse health effects. Thyroid hormones play a crucial part in metabolism, growth, maintenance of brain function and fertility; hence disruption of the thyroid signalling axis implicates hum

Abstract:

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have been detected in drinking water. Although various water treatment processes can remove EDCs, chemicals can migrate from pipes that transport water and contaminate drinking water. Globally bottled water consumption is steadily rising as an alternative to tap water, but EDCs have also been detected in bottled water. Sources of EDCs in bottled water include contamination of the water source, contamination through the production process or the migration of EDCs from the packaging material. There is limited info

Abstract:

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in the environment and their presence in water bodies is documented. They discharge into surface water (SW) unmonitored, posing a threat to both aquatic and terrestrial lives. This is a challenge as not all populations have access to treated drinking water (TDW). The EDC contaminated serves as a route of exposure, together with ineffective treatment plants. Given the complexity of the endocrine system, EDCs may mimic or antagonise natural hormones or disrupt their synthesis, metabolism and excretion. The associated health effects incl

The disposal of waste from agricultural activities has been recognised as a source of environmental contamination by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Groundwater and soil contamination by estrogens following waste application on the land have been reported overseas, but our understanding of the processes and factors governing the fate of estrogens in the soil is poor.
