Although low doses of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), strong lipophilic chemicals with
long half‐lives, have been linked to various endocrine, immune, nervous and reproductive …

Lipophilic persistent organic pollutants (POP) are stored in adipose tissue. Following rapid
weight loss such as when induced by bariatric surgery, an increased release of potential …

Background: Adipose tissue (AT) is involved in several physiological functions, including
metabolic regulation, energy storage, and endocrine functions. Objectives: In this review we …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are considered as potential obesogens that may affect
adipose tissue development and functioning, thus promoting obesity. However, various …

Low dose persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have emerged as a new risk for type 2
diabetes (T2D). Despite substantial evidence from human and experimental studies, there …

Purpose of review The rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes cannot be fully explained
by known risk factors, such as unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle, and family history. This …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are synthetic chemicals that have an intrinsic resistance
to natural degradation processes, and are therefore environmentally persistent. The …

Background The role of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with endocrine disrupting
activity in the aetiology of obesity and other metabolic dysfunctions has been recently …

There is emerging evidence that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) can increase the risk
of various chronic diseases. As POPs mainly bioaccumulate in adipose tissue, weight …

Blood is the most widely used matrix for biomonitoring of persistent organic pollutants
(POPs). It is assumed that POPs are homogenously distributed within body lipids at steady …
