Jul 20, 2021 · The sensitivity of birds to estrogen levels in the environment is, however, strongly correlated with the species and their age, except during development. Too high level of estrogens in the environment can also disturb the behavior of birds, often increasing the risk of aggressive behavior and impair the functioning of the immune system.
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.
Dec 5, 2017 · Background: Estrogen-mimicking endocrine disruptors (EEDs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates have been found ubiquitously throughout our environment. Although exposure to EEDs has the ability to interfere with endocrine control of reproductive function and development in both humans and wildlife, inconsistent reports have made it difficult to draw ...
Aug 16, 2021 · Future studies on etiology of human cancers related to environmental exogenous estrogen exposure should focus on synthesizing various perspectives: (1) at the molecular and cellular level, looking at different types of ERs (ERα, ERβ, mER, and GPER) and cross-talk with other signaling pathways, (2) at the tissue level, considering the spatial heterogeneity of tissue composition and temporal ...
Jan 1, 2001 · Environmental Estrogens Environmental estrogens are endocrine disruptors, the synthetic chemicals and natural plant compounds that may affect the endocrine system. Although most are weaker than natural estrogen, many of these substances have been associated with developmental, reproductive and other health problems in wildlife and laboratory animals.
In 2018 and 2019, the state of Hawaii and Key West, Florida banned the sale of sunscreen containing oxybenzone (BP-3) or octinoxate (OMC) due to their detrimental threat to the marine ecosystems 4 - 6. Their toxic effects on other species has alarmed the general public about their potential to impact human health when applied to human skin 7.
Feb 10, 2022 · Apart from the medicines as mentioned, some environmental pollutants, such as dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were also reported to be EEs. Synthetic estrogens are more stable than natural estrogens and can persist in the environment and living organisms for a longer time (Tapiero et al., 2002). These synthetic compounds ...
