Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) comprise a group of environmental contaminants
that can disturb the normal functioning of the hormonal system, can cause adverse effects in …

The estrogen receptors (ERs) are members of a super family of ligand-activated transcription
factors mediating estrogenic responses. A close functional kinship was found for the …

This work describes the first comparative electrochemical behavior of β-estradiol and
selected important environmental hormones, specifically alkylphenols (APs). Most of the …

Estrogenic/antiestrogenic activities of 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 63
monohydroxylated PAHs (OHPAHs) having 2 to 6 rings were evaluated by yeast two-hybrid …

The role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) on the antiandrogenic effects of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was studied in LNCaP cells. The PAHs used in this study …

Thirty male pesticide formulators exposed to the dust and liquid formulation of endosulfan,

Cadmium is a heavy metal that has no known beneficial biological role. Although naturally
occurring, it owes its presence in today's environment mainly to contamination from …

We collected diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) emitted from three diesel-engine vehicles—a
car, a bus, and a truck—in daily use, and prepared DEP extracts (DEPEs), designated as …

The hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) can cause endocrine disruption in sensitive species at part
per trillion concentrations. The persistence and transport pathways of manure-borne E2 in …
