Endocrine Disruptor—A threat to the animal world
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2021, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Various types of naturally occurring and artificially made chemicals cause disruption of endocrine processes among animals. They mimic biochemically with hormones and interfere with the normal signaling and activity of the endocrine system, causing enormous changes at the cellular level of animals from lower to higher organisms, including human being. These modified regulations of cellular activities as a result of endocrine disruptors have severe implications at the organismal level. Types and adverse effects of these natural and synthetic agents, especially estrogenic compounds causing biological threats have been discussed in details in this review.
