Stanowisko Polskiego Towarzystwa Endokrynologicznego dotyczące związków endokrynnie czynnych (EDC)

Abstract: With the reference to the position statements of the Endocrine Society, the Paediatric Endocrine Society, and the European Society of Paediatric Endocrinology, the Polish Society of Endocrinology points out the adverse health effects caused by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) commonly used in daily life as components of plastics, food containers, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The statement is based on the alarming data about the increase of the prevalence of many endocrine disorders such as: cryptorchid… Show more

“…In recent decades, numerous studies aimed at assessing the effects of PBs on the endocrine system, and currently, an ample body of scientific literature, indicate that these can exert estrogenic activity and can therefore be considered as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) featuring a non-steroidal chemical structure [11][12][13][14][15]. Indeed, several studies confirm the hypothesis that PBs can act as EDCs that can modulate the functions of the endocrine system [16][17][18]. Some of them, MeP, EtP, PrP, and BuP, competitively bind the ERs [13]) and impact ER-dependent gene expression [19,20], interfering in the normal functioning of natural endocrine hormones.…”

“…It is now apparent that EDCs that interact with ERs or estrogen signaling pathways may have detrimental effects on women’s reproductive health. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to reduce the exposure to these chemicals where not only gynecologists [ 76 ] and endocrinologists, but mostly family doctors should be involved in the process of widening the knowledge and the awareness about the consequences of exposure to these environmental substances [ 77 ]. Although, there is vast information available from the governmental ( http://edkb.fda.gov , http://www.epa.gov/endo ) as well as private organizations ( http://www.ourstolenfuture.org , http://www.silentspring.org , http://www.nrdc.org , http://www.healthandenvironment.org ) on the detrimental health effects due to exposure to EDCs, recommendations in an easily accessible format on methods of minimizing the exposure to these substances are still lacking [ 30 ].…”

“…Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a group of chemical substances that, due to their structural similarities with steroid hormones, interact with receptors for estrogens, androgens, and progesterone, thereby increasing the risk of endocrinopathy and diseases of civilization [ 8 ]. Currently, the EDC list includes hundreds of chemical compounds and it is constantly growing.…”

“…The increasing incidence of GDM seems to coincide with the growing use of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs are a group of chemical substances that, due to their structural similarities with steroid hormones, interact with receptors for estrogens, androgens, and progesterone, thereby increasing the risk of endocrinopathy and diseases of civilization [ 8 ]. Exposure of pregnant women to EDCs might be a cause of the growing incidence of gestational diabetes, and as a consequence, increased risk of epigenetic “diabetogenic” and “obesogenic” changes in the offspring DNA, thereby escalating the risk of developing civilization diseases in subsequent generations.…”
