Scope Phytoestrogens, such as the soy isoflavones genistein and daidzein, are suggested
to beneficially affect lipid metabolism in humans and thereby contribute to healthy ageing …

Resistance against environmental stress is a crucial factor in determining the lifespan of
organisms. A central role herein has been recently attributed to the transport and storage of …

In view of the recurrent applications of pesticides in agricultural producing countries, the
increased presence of these substances in the environment raise a demand for the …

To gain basic understanding of the reproductive and developmental effects of endocrine
disrupting chemicals in invertebrates, we have used C. elegans as an animal model. The …

Certain anthropogenic chemicals, most notably xeno-oestrogens, are known to have the
potential to disrupt vertebrate endocrine systems. For example, induction of the female …

This study evaluated the positive effects of autumn olive berries (AOBs) extract on delaying
aging by improving lipid metabolism in middle-aged Caenorhabditis elegans that had …

In order to assist in the identification of possible endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) in
groundwater, we are developing Caenorhabolitis elegans as a high throughput bioassay …

In this paper, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is proposed as a model organism for
studying chemical effects over multiple generations. We investigated whether C. elegans …

The search for novel pheromones, hormones, and other types of natural products in the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has accelerated over the last 10–15 years. Many of …

Changes in both behavior and gene expression occur in Caenorhabditis elegans following
exposure to sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, and to bisphenol A (BPA) …
