Title: | The role of endocrine disruptors in female infertility | Authors: | Silva, Ana Beatriz P. Carreiró, Filipa Ramos, Fernando Silva, Ana Sanches |
Keywords: | Bisphenol A; Endocrine disruptor; Female infertility; Exposure; Phthalates; Pesticides; Dioxins | Issue Date: | Aug-2023 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Project: | UIDB/00211/2020 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Molecular Biology Reports | Volume: | 50 | Issue: | 8 | Abstract: | According to the World Health Organization, infertility is a public health problem that affects around 48 million couples and 186 million individuals worldwide. Endocrine disruptors are one of the causes that raise more concern, given that it is a problem that has evolved with the progress of society. Many chemicals are used by food industry, entering food chain, and directly affecting human health. Endocrine disruptors have the capacity of interfering with the normal hormonal action, metabolism, and biosynthesis, which can lead to a variation of the normal hormonal homeostasis. Some of these endocrine disruptors are highly associated with diseases that are positively correlated with female infertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, irregular menstrual cycle and also disturbances on processes as steroidogenesis and development of the ovarian follicles. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112252 | ISSN: | 0301-4851 1573-4978 |
