Abstract:
... Parabens are widely used as preservatives in pharmaceutical and personal care products, but are regarded as endocrine disruptor compounds. The presence of parabens has potential effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. This has led to the development of various methods for the removal of these recalcitrant compounds. This study presents an overview of the literature on methodologies for the ...

Abstract:
... Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor. DEHP can be absorbed into the human body through the air, food, water, and skin. After entering the human body, DEHP is rapidly converted to mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) with greater toxicity than DEHP. An increasing number of studies indicates that DEHP or MEHP can damage the thyroid tissue and disrupt the ...

Abstract:
... Considering the low concentration levels of bisphenol compounds present in environmental, food, and biological samples, and the difficulty in analyzing the matrices, the main challenge is with the cleanup and extraction process, as well as developing highly sensitive determination methods. Recent advances in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their large surface area, low weight, ...

Abstract:
... The parameters of postnatal development and its transcriptional control, as well as functioning of the adrenal zona reticularis, in rats prenatally and postnatally exposed to the endocrine disruptor dichlorodiphenyltrichloroetane (DDT) were studied. It was found that developmental exposure to the endocrine disruptor affects both the rates of growth and the functional maturation of the zona reticul ...

Abstract:
... The etiology of hypospadias and cryptorchidism, which are the two most common genital anomalies in males, has not been elucidated. Although prenatal exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may increase the risks of hypospadias and cryptorchidism, the associations have not been confirmed. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to establish the relationships between prenatal exposure to E ...

Abstract:
... Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used for the manufacturing of plastics, epoxy resin, and many personal care products. This ubiquitous endocrine disruptor is detectable in the urine of over 80% of North Americans. Although adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes have been observed in children with high gestational exposure to BPA, the effects of prenatal BPA on brain structure remain unclear. ...

Abstract:
... In this work, the efficiency of immobilized crude laccase for the biodegradation of the phenolic endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) was investigated. The experiments were carried out in shake-flask scale and fluidized bed bioreactor (FBB) scale. Firstly, the optimization of BPA biodegradation by free and immobilized crude laccase was performed in shake-flask scale. For this, the effect of diffe ...

Abstract:
... Bisphenol A is a widespread endocrine disruptor with numerous effects on reproductive functions. Limitations on BPA in manufacturing has prompted the use of analogs, such as BPS and BPF, with limited research on their safety. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of BPA and its analogs on oxidative stress levels within bovine granulosa cells and to measure the expression of key a ...

Abstract:
... Bisphenol A (BPA) as the most common endocrine disruptor used in food containers and packaging is causing adverse effects for human beings. Accordingly, in situ detection of BPA is of practical importance for food safety. However, the complicated operations of existed methods and interference of various impurities in food matrix restrict the realization of real-time in situ BPA sensing in food sam ...

Abstract:
... The increased ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the Earth's surface increased the need for UV filters products. One of the most used is oxybenzone, which is indiscriminately released in the environment. Oxybenzone's ecotoxicological effects on physiology have been investigated because of the bioaccumulation and action as an endocrine disruptor. However, little is known about its effects on behavior or ...

Abstract:
... Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine disruptor and has been gradually replaced in industrial applications by other bisphenols, such as bisphenol S (BPS). However, whether these analogues are any safer for the central nervous system remains elusive. Here, we investigated behavioral impairments in mice after BPA and BPS exposure from postnatal days 21–49 (P21~P49). Results showed that BPA (0.1 and ...

Abstract:
... Atrazine (ATZ) is a highly toxic chlorine-containing aromatic structural triazine endocrine disruptor. Due to its chemical stability and electrochemical inertness, it is of great challenge and significance to establish a simple, portable, and in situ electrochemical sensor for ATZ. In the present work, a self-powered aptasensor (SPA) based on a novel enzyme-free photofuel cell (PFC) is successfull ...
... Nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine disruptor and environmental hormone representing alkylphenol compounds. Marine mollusks are an important source of protein for people worldwide. Many researchers have begun to study the effect of NP on marine mollusks immune system in view of its toxicity; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms require in-depth analysis. In this study, we focused on the trans ...

... 17β-estradiol protects pancreatic β-cells from apoptosis via the estrogen receptors ERα, ERβ and GPER. Conversely, the endocrine disruptor bisphenol-A (BPA), which exerts multiple effects in this cell type via the same estrogen receptors, increased basal apoptosis. The molecular-initiated events that trigger these opposite actions have yet to be identified. We demonstrated that combined genetic do ...

Abstract:
... The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the main control area of the clock rhythm in the mammalian brain. It drives daily behaviours and rhythms by synchronizing or suppressing the oscillations of clock genes in peripheral tissue. It is an important brain tissue structure that affects rhythm stability. SCN has high plasticity and is easily affected by the external environment. In this experiment, we ...
... Nonylphenol (Noph) has garnered worldwide concern as a typical endocrine disruptor due to its toxicity, estrogenic properties, and widespread contamination. To better elucidate the interaction of Noph with ubiquitously existing microplastics (MPs) and the potential interdependence of their transport behaviors, batch adsorption and column experiments were conducted, paired with mathematical modelin ...

Abstract:
... Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals are synthetic or natural molecules in the environment that promote adverse modifications of endogenous hormone regulation in humans and/or in animals. In the present research, we have applied two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) modeling to analyze the structural features of these chemicals responsible for binding to the androgen rece ...
... Plastic waste pollution is one of the leading environmental problems of modern society. Its use, disposal, and recycling lead to the release of xenobiotic compounds such as bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor related to numerous pathologies. Due to the new restrictions on its use, it is gradually being replaced by derived molecules, such as bisphenol F or S (BPF or BPS), whose health ri ...
