Nov 30, 2020 · Abstract. Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer and the fifth deadliest in the world. Exposure to endocrine disrupting pollutants has been suggested to contribute to the increase in disease incidence. Indeed, a growing number of researchershave investigated the effects of widely used environmental chemicals with endocrine ...

Jul 20, 2021 · The analyzed literature shows that estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and synthetic ethinyloestradiol (EE2) are the most significant in terms of environmental impact. Potential sources of contamination are, among others, livestock farms, slaughterhouses, and large urban agglomerations.

Aug 21, 2018 · There are no regulations restricting the use of phthalates in the United States or in Brazil, but the European Community has banned phthalates. In the roster of phthalates, three esters are considered endocrine disruptors with estrogenic effects: DHEP (diethyl-hexyl phthalate), BBP (benzyl-butyl phthalate), and DBP (dibutyl phthalate).

In the last two decades there has been a growing awareness of the possible adverse effects in humans a nd wildlife from exposure to chemicals t hat can interfere with the endocrine system. These effects can include: 1. developmental malformations; 2. interference with reproduction; 3. increased cancer risk; and 4. disturbances in the immune and ner...
Scientific research on human epidemiology, laboratory animals, and fish and wildlife suggests that environmental contaminants can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to adverse health consequences. It is important to gain a better understanding of what concentrations of chemicals found in the environment may cause an adverse effect. Various types...
One example of the devastating consequences of the exposure of developing animals, including humans, to endocrine disruptors is the case of the potent drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen. Prior to its ban in the early 1970s, doctors mistakenly prescribed DES to as many as five million pregnant women to block spontaneous abortion and...
Unopposed estrogen or estrogen-mimicking EDCs can bind to ER, switching on the downstream signaling of estrogen-responsive genes involved in the cell cycle (64, 192, 193). Several oestrogenic EDCs, such as BPA and phthalates, have been shown to induce epigenetic modification or genotoxic effects ( 27 , 194 , 195 ), which can alter gene products and genetics, eventually predisposing to certain ...
