1. Oxidative stress and histopathologic biomarkers of exposure to bisphenol-A in the freshwater fish, Ctenopharyngodon idella
ABSTRACT Bisphenol-A (BPA) belongs to the family of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and it is used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. The reproductive toxicity of BPA is well documented but it also exerts its toxic effects through multiple pathways especially by inducing a state of oxidative stress and causing damage to the vi

2. Remoção dos interferentes endócrinos 17 alfa -etinilestradiol, 17 beta -estradiol e 4-nonilfenol por adsorção em carvão ativado em pó em água de abastecimento público / Adsorption of the endocrine disruptors 17 alfa -ethinylestradiol, 17 `beta -estradiol and 4-nonylphenol by powdered activated carbon in drinking water
Nas últimas décadas, verifica-se um crescente interesse científico a respeito dos potenciais adversos associados à exposição humana e animal aos interferentes endócrinos. A ocorrência de interferentes endócrinos em efluente de Estação de Tratamento de Esgoto (ETE) e em águas superficiais constitui um crescente interesse científico devido à prob

3. Interferentes endócrinos no ambiente
Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting effects is not new, the issue has been a growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of endocrine-related disease in humans, including declining male fertility, and more significantly, to adverse physiological effects observed in wildlife where cause and

4. Desreguladores endócrinos no meio ambiente: efeitos e conseqüências
There is an increasing interest in micropollutants in the environment that can interfere with the endocrine system, affecting health, growth and reproduction of animals and humans. These substances are known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and can be found in domestic sewage, domestic wastewater treatment plant effluents, and in natural and potable

5. Degradation of dioxinas and furanos policlorados for ligninolíticos basidiomecetos fungos and its application in biorremediação process. / Degradação de dioxinas e furanos policlorados por fungos basidiomicetos ligninoliticos e sua aplicação em processo de biorremediação.
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are compounds produced as by-products, unintentionally, in industrials processes and combustion processes. Municipal solid waste incineration is one major source these compounds. The isomers with chlorines substituted in the 2,3,7,8 positions are thought to cause risks to human hea

6. Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement
There is growing interest in the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are substances in our environment, food, and consumer products that interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism, or action resulting in a deviation from normal homeostatic control or reproduction. In this first Scientific Statement of The Endocri

7. The Bisphenol A Experience: A Primer for the Analysis of Environmental Effects on Mammalian Reproduction1
It is increasingly evident that environmental factors are a veritable Pandora's box from which new concerns and complications continue to emerge. Although previously considered the domain of toxicologists, it is now clear that an understanding of the effects of the environment on reproduction requires a far broader range of expertise and that, at least for e

8. Eggshell and egg yolk proteins in fish: hepatic proteins for the next generation: oogenetic, population, and evolutionary implications of endocrine disruption
The oocyte is the starting point for a new generation. Most of the machinery for DNA and protein synthesis needed for the developing embryo is made autonomously by the fertilized oocyte. However, in fish and in many other oviparous vertebrates, the major constituents of the egg, i.e. yolk and eggshell proteins, are synthesized in the liver and transported to

9. The endocrine control of reproduction in Nereidae: a new multi-hormonal model with implications for their functional role in a changing environment
Nereidae are vital to the functioning of estuarine ecosystems and are major components in the diets of over-wintering birds and commercial fish. They use environmental cues to synchronize reproduction. Photoperiod is the proximate cue, initiating vitellogenesis in a temperature-compensated process. The prevailing paradigm in Nereidae is of a single ‘juveni

10. Fetal and Neonatal Exposure to the Endocrine Disruptor Methoxychlor Causes Epigenetic Alterations in Adult Ovarian Genes
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals during development could alter the epigenetic programming of the genome and result in adult-onset disease. Methoxychlor (MXC) and its metabolites possess estrogenic, antiestrogenic, and antiandrogenic activities. Previous studies showed that fetal/neonatal exposure to MXC caused adult ovarian dysfunction due to alte
