In utero exposure to environmental dioxin-like, estrogen and androgen compounds can
cause adverse health effects. Little is known about potential interactions in vivo between …

Background: Maternal exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like compounds may affect fetal
growth and development. We evaluated the association between in utero dioxin-like activity …

Background Prenatal exposure to dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) irreversibly affects fetal
reproductive and steroid hormone synthesis. Objective This study aimed to assess the …

Dioxin-related compounds are associated with teratogenic and mutagenic risks in laboratory
animals, and result in adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, there were inconsistent …

Background: Anogenital distance in animals is used as a measure of fetal androgen action.
Prenatal exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like compounds in rodents causes reproductive …

The aim of this study is to examine the association between transplacental exposure to
dioxins/polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and thyroid and growth hormones in newborns …

Background: Our environment is replete with chemicals that can affect embryonic and
extraembryonic development. Dioxins, such as 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin …

Background Exposure to dioxins results in a broad range of pathophysiological disorders in
human fetuses. In order to evaluate the effects of dioxins on the feto-placental tissues, we …

Background In recent decades, young men in some industrialized areas have reportedly
experienced a decrease in semen quality. Objective We examined effects of perinatal dioxin …

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs, dioxins), polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental endocrine disruptors that …
