BACKGROUND: Animal and epidemiologic data indicate that exposure to persistent
organochlorine pollutants (POPs) may disrupt the hypothalamus–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) and …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and some organochlorine pesticides, which continue to
be measurable in a high proportion of blood samples from the general population, have …

Background Studies relating long-term exposure to persistent organochlorine pollutants
(POPs) with endocrine activities (endocrine disrupting chemicals) on circulating levels of …

Background Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides are endocrine
disruptors, altering both thyroid and estrogen hormonal systems. Less is known of action on …

Objectives: There is a concern that persistent organohalogen toxicants, such as
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), might display endocrine-disrupting effects in exposed …

Background The study is part of a collaborative project (Inuendo), aiming to assess the
impact of dietary persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) on human fertility. The aims …

Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been associated with changes in
reproductive hormone levels, however most groups studied have been highly exposed. We …

Although several recent studies suggest endocrine disrupting compounds, such as
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p, p′, DDE), and …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are thought to cause numerous adverse health effects, but
their impact on estrogen signaling is still not fully understood. In the present study, we used …

Background The general population is exposed to the group of endocrine disrupting
chemicals persistent organic pollutants (POPs), that includes polychlorinated biphenyls …
