This paper provides an update and comprehensive review of the analytical methods used for quantifying isoflavones and their metabolites in cow's milk. Isoflavones are secondary plant metabolites that are similar to 17 β-estradiol in chemical structure. They form one...

Screening for potential endocrine disruptors in fish: evidence from structural alerts and in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays.

Dibutyl phthalate is (DBP) the top priority toxicant responsible for carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and endocrine disruption. This study demonstrates the DBP degradation capability of the two newly isolated bacteria from municipal solid waste leachate samples. The isolated bacteria were designated...

One-step extraction and concentration of estrogens for an adequate monitoring of wastewater using ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems.

Green chemistry : an international journal and green chemistry resource : GC

Dinis TBV, Passos H, Lima DLD, Esteves VI, Coutinho JAP, Freire MG.
PMID: 26379470
Green Chem. 2015 Apr 01;17(4):2570-2579. doi: 10.1039/C5GC00077G.

Ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a synthetic hormone that has been recognized as one of the most prominent endocrine disruptors found in the aqueous environment. Nevertheless, the low content of EE2 in wastewater makes its identification/quantification unfeasible - a major drawback...

Prenatal Exposures to Multiple Thyroid Hormone Disruptors: Effects on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism.

Journal of thyroid research

Molehin D, Dekker Nitert M, Richard K.
PMID: 26989557
J Thyroid Res. 2016;2016:8765049. doi: 10.1155/2016/8765049. Epub 2016 Feb 17.

Background. Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential for normal human fetal development and play a major role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Delivery of TH to target tissues is dependent on processes including TH synthesis, transport, and...

Capacitation and acrosome reaction differences of bovine, mouse and porcine spermatozoa in responsiveness to estrogenic compounds.

Journal of animal science and technology

Ryu DY, Kim YJ, Lee JS, Rahman MS, Kwon WS, Yoon SJ, Pang MG.
PMID: 26290715
J Anim Sci Technol. 2014 Nov 27;56:26. doi: 10.1186/2055-0391-56-26. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: Endocrine disruptors are exogenous substance, interfere with the endocrine system, and disrupt hormonal functions. However, the effect of endocrine disruptors in different species has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the possible effects of 17ß-estradiol (E2), progesterone...

Exposure to bisphenol A, but not phthalates, increases spontaneous diabetes type 1 development in NOD mice.

Toxicology reports

Bodin J, Kocbach Bølling A, Wendt A, Eliasson L, Becher R, Kuper F, Løvik M, Nygaard UC.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic beta-cells due to a genetic predisposition and can be triggered by environmental factors. We have previously shown that bisphenol A (BPA) accelerates the spontaneous development of...

Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals: Review of Toxicological Mechanisms Using Molecular Pathway Analysis.

Journal of cancer prevention

Yang O, Kim HL, Weon JI, Seo YR.

Endocrine disruptors are known to cause harmful effects to human through various exposure routes. These chemicals mainly appear to interfere with the endocrine or hormone systems. As importantly, numerous studies have demonstrated that the accumulation of endocrine disruptors can...

Development of a fabric phase sorptive extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection method for the analysis of alkyl phenols in environmental samples.

Journal of separation science

Several recent publications reflect debate on the issue of "endocrine disrupting chemicals" (EDCs), indicating that two seemingly mutually exclusive perspectives are being articulated separately and independently. Considering this, a group of scientists with expertise in basic science, medicine and...

Disturbance in testosterone production in leydig cells by polycyclic aromatic hydevrepocarbons.

Dev Reprod. 2014 Dec;18(4):187-95. doi: 10.12717/devrep.2014.18.4.187.

Polycyclic aromatic hydevrepocarbons (PAHs), which are ubiquitous in the air, are present as volatile and particulate pollutants that result from incomplete combustion. Most PAHs have toxic, mutagenic, and/or carcinogenic properties. Among PAHs, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) are suspected...
