“…Adverse effects of EDCs on the reproductive system can result from interaction with sex steroids or their receptors and other types of receptors, including aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), liver X receptor (LXR), thyroid hormone receptors (TR), and retinoid X receptor (RXR). Thus, health impact of EDCs can result from altered gonadal development, gamete production (4–12), lower fertility, and reproductive success (13, 14), interfere with epigenetic mechanism (9, 15), altered growth (16, 17), morphology (18), metabolism (19, 20), lipid metabolism (18, 21), dysregulation of the central and peripheral endocannabinoid system (ECS) (21–23), Cardiac response and development (24, 25), DNA damage and cytotoxicity (26), neuronal development and behavior (27–29), as well as compromised immune system (3, 30) and stress performance (31). Furthermore, there is evidence that EDCs are able to increase progression of certain kinds of diseases, including obesity, diabetes, endometriosis, and hormone-dependent cancers [Reviewed in (32)].…”
