Released during water blooms cyanotoxins may evoke different negative effects on exposed organisms, and some other effects, such as immunotoxicity, genotoxicity and tumor promoting potency are suggested. Released during water blooms cyanotoxins may evoke different negative effects on exposed organisms. Except well studied hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity or dermatotoxicity, which became the basis ...
Mar 13, 2014 · These results indicate that similar to other estrogens and some endocrine disruptors [20,45,46], ZEA also has immunotoxic effects on the thymus. Unlike the thymus, which is gradually replaced by fat tissue in adulthood, the spleen is not affected by the animal nutritional status and/or body weight, as it does not contain adipocytes [ 47 ].
Jun 1, 2021 · Many environmental chemicals have been found to exert estrogenic effects in cells and experimental animals by activating nuclear receptors such as estrogen receptors and estrogen-related receptors. These compounds include bisphenols, pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organophosphate flame retardants, phthalates and metalloestrogens.
May 5, 2009 · The proposal of an association of environmental estrogens with obesity and diabetes expands the focus on the diseases from intervention/treatment to include prevention/avoidance of chemical modifiers especially during critical windows of development. Keywords: metabolic disease, diabetes, xenoestrogens, developmental exposure, endocrine ...
Sep 1, 2014 · Recently, some studies demonstrated that environmental estrogens may also affect the immune system of aquatic wildlife (Canesi et al., 2007, Casanova-Nakayama et al., 2011). For example, Liney et al. (2006) found that estrogen-active effluents changed the structure and function of the reproductive system of the roach, Rutilus rutilus , at higher concentration than those who impaired the immune ...
Jul 1, 2018 · Environmental estrogens and androgens usually induce sex hormone imbalances and gonadal abnormalities by disrupting aromatases (cyp19a and cyp19b), which are responsible for converting ...
Feb 1, 2017 · The risk of environmental estrogens on breast cancer was examined in 198 women at time of diagnosis. Sixteen organochloride pesticides and total xenoestrogen levels were measured and comparisons made with 260 unaffected women. A sub-group of leaner post-menopausal women showed an increased risk of breast cancer (Ibarluzea et al., 2004).
