Simplicity, speed, and reduced cost are essential demands for routine analysis in human biomonitoring studies. Moreover, the availability of higher volumes of human specimens is becoming more restrictive due to ethical ...

We report on the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of the endocrine disruptor propyl paraben (PPB) using a TiO2 nanotube (TiO2-NT) electrode prepared via chemical anodization, and a TiO2-NT electrode modified with WO3 by ...

Developmental programming refers to processes that occur during early life that may have long-term consequences, modulating adult health and disease. Complex diseases, such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease, ...

Mammary gland (MG) undergoes critical points of structural changes throughout a woman's life. During the perinatal and pubertal stages, MG develops through growth and differentiation to establish a pre-mature feature. If ...

Developmental programming refers to processes that occur during early life that may have long-term consequences, modulating adult health and disease. Complex diseases, such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease, ...

The mammary gland (MG) and female prostate are plastic reproductive organs which are highly responsive to hormones. Thus, endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and exogenous estrogens, negatively affect glandular ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a xenobiotic with endocrine disruptor properties which interacts with various receptors, eliciting a cellular response. In the plastic industry, BPA is widely used in the production of polycarbonate ...

Endocrine disruptors are synthetic or natural compounds that interfere with the normal functioning of the organism. These disruptions affect the alteration of the hormonal system and the metabolic processes that are regulated ...

Mesoporous silica material type MCM-41 was modified with different amounts of Zn (1-15 wt.%) by the wet impregnation method. Support and catalysts were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 nitrogen ...
