The review aims to comprehensively present the impact of exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDs) in relation to the clinical manifestation of obesity and related diseases, including diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, carcinogenesis and infertility. EDs are strong participants in the obesity epidemic scenery by interfering with cellular morphological and biochemical processes; by inducing inflammatory responses; and by presenting transcriptional and oncogenic activity. Obesity and lipotoxicity enhancement occur through reprogramming and/or remodeling of germline epigenome by exposure to EDs. Specific population groups are vulnerable to ED exposure due to current dietary and environmental conditions. Obesity, morbidity and carcinogenicity induced by ED exposure are an evolving reality. Therefore, a new collective strategic approach is deemed essential, for the reappraisal of current global conditions pertaining to energy management.

Thresholds and Endocrine Disruptors: An Endocrine Society Policy Perspective.

The concept of a threshold of adversity in toxicology is neither provable nor disprovable. As such, it is not a scientific question but a theoretical one. Yet, the belief in thresholds has led to traditional ways of interpreting data derived from regulatory guideline studies of the toxicity of chemicals. Read More

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs). Previous studies have shown that the reproduction toxicity of BPA could cause severe effects on the mammal oocytes and disturb the quality of mature oocytes. However, the toxic effects of BPA on the organelles of mouse oocytes have not been reported. Read More

Interplay Between Endocrine Disruptors and Immunity: Implications for Diseases of Autoreactive Etiology.

Authors:
Maria Popescu Talia B Feldman Tanuja Chitnis

Front Pharmacol 2021 23;12:626107. Epub 2021 Mar 23.

Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.

The sex-bias of disease susceptibility has remained a puzzling aspect of several autoimmune conditions, including post-infection viral autoimmunity. In the last half of the twentieth century, the incidence rate of female-biased autoimmunity has steadily increased independent of medical advances. This has suggested a role for environmental factors, such as endocrine disrupting chemicals, which have been described to interfere with endocrine signaling. Read More

Amphibian endocrine systems interact with each other during normal development. Interference with one of the endocrine systems may influence others. We studied the effect of a thyroid inhibitor (ethylenethiourea [ETU]) on metamorphosis and ovary development of three species, Sphaerotheca pashchima, Indosylvirana caesari, and Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis with different larval durations.

Hypospadias induced by medications and environmental exposures- A scoping review.

Authors:
Gideon Koren Rana Cohen

J Pediatr Urol 2021 Jan 21. Epub 2021 Jan 21.

Adelson School of Medicine, Ariel University, Israel.

Objectives: Hypospadias is a congenital birth defect affecting around one in every 300 male infants, characterized by incomplete fusion of the urethralfold.Our objective was to identify drug and chemical exposure in pregnancy associated with increased risk for hypospadias.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review of studies of drugs and chemicals associated with hypospadias by searching Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, Google and Google Scholar from inception to October 9, 2020 in any language. Read More
