1. 6. Removal of endocrine-disrupting compounds from wastewater using molecular imprinting

   Författare :Mathieu Le Noir; Bioteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; molecular imprinting; Endocrine-disrupting compounds; wastewater; macroporous gel; trace contaminants;

   Sammanfattning : Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as hormones and certain pharmaceuticals (i.e. birth control pills, oestrogen replacement products and other steroids) can interfere with the regulatory systems of humans and wildlife. Many of these compounds are excreted by humans and released with sewage. LÄS MER

3. 7. The Xenopus tropicalis model for developmental endocrine and reproductive toxicity : Histological and molecular endpoints for disrupted spermatogenesis

   Författare :Sofie Svanholm; Cecilia Berg; Oskar Karlsson; Valérie Langlois; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; Reproductive toxicology; Developmental toxicology; Spermatogenesis; Transgenerational; Xenopus tropicalis; Biology with specialization in Environmental Toxicology; Biologi med inriktning mot miljötoxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are linked to adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. There are however, large knowledge gaps regarding cause-effect and dose-response relationships between the interference with endocrine pathways and adverse effects in the organism, especially at puberty and in subsequent generations.

4. 8. Targeting the ovary : mapping mechanisms to link endocrine-disrupting chemicals to female fertility

   Författare :Tianyi Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : In recent decades, growing attention has been paid to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) as mounting evidence suggests that they can cause detrimental reproductive outcomes in animals and humans. Even though epidemiological studies show the link between EDC exposure and adverse reproductive outcomes such as sub-fertility, longer time-to-pregnancy, and decreased ovarian reserve in women, the underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated.

5. 9. Phthalates : On the issue of sources, human uptake, time trends and health effects

   Författare :Huan Shu; Carl-Gustaf Bornehag; Eewa Nånberg; Åke Svensson; Tina Kold Jensen; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phthalates; Asthma; Pregnant; Exposure; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; SELMA; Public Health Science; Folkhälsovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Human health depends on a well-functioning endocrine system to regulate hormone release for normal bodily functions. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) constitutes a group of chemicals, included in many commonly used products, (e.g. LÄS MER

7. 10. Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) and Metabolic Disruption

   Författare :Linda Dunder; Monica Lind; Margareta Halin Lejonklou; Lars Lind; Anna-Maria Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bisphenol A BPA ; Endocrine disrupting chemicals EDCs ; Developmental exposure; Metabolic disruption; Adipose tissue; Fatty acids; Insulin secretion; Experimental rat study; Epidemiology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Metbolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver lipid disorders and metabolic syndrome are increasing rapidly and have largely been attributed to genetic background and changes in diet, exercise and aging. However, there is now considerable evidence showing that other environmental factors, including environmental chemicals, may contribute to the rapid increase in the incidence of these metabolic diseases.
