Estrogenic Compounds: Chemical Characteristics, Detection Methods, Biological and Environmental Effects
(2018-05-01)
Several chemical compounds are being studied for their capacities to cause imbalances in several biological systems. Some of those are able to affect the endocrine system and are known as endocrine disruptors. Many negative ...
Estrogenic mycotoxins in surface waters of the rico stream micro-basin, SãO Paulo, Brazil: Occurrence and potential estrogenic contribution
(2020-04-01)
The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of zearalenone (ZEN) and its metabolites zearalanone (ZAN), α-zearalenol (α-ZEL), β-zearalenol (β-ZEL) α-zearalanol (α-ZAL), and β-zearalanol (β-ZAL) in the surface waters ...
Endocrine Disruptors and Hypothalamic Sexual Differentiation
(2003-12-01)
The so-called endocrine disruptors have been described as compounds which interfere with the estrogen action in their receptors and may exert a crucial role in the development of the reproductive tract and in the brain ...

Melatonin decreases estrogen receptor binding to estrogen response elements sites on the oct4 gene in human breast cancer stem cells
(2016-05-01)
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) pose a challenge in cancer treatment, as these cells can drive tumor growth and are resistant to chemotherapy. Melatonin exerts its oncostatic effects through the estrogen receptor (ER) pathway in ...
Exposure of young rats to high estrogen doses leads to degeneration of elongated spermatids

Estrogenic and anti-androgenic effects of the herbicide tebuthiuron in male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2018-01-01)
Tebuthiuron is a phenylurea herbicide widely used in agriculture that can reach the aquatic environments, possibly posing negative effects to the aquatic biota. Phenylurea herbicides, such as diuron, are known to cause ...
Determination of estrogenic mycotoxins in environmental water samples by low-toxicity dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-04-24)
A novel, simple, rapid and eco-friendly method based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using a bromosolvent was developed to determine six estrogenic mycotoxins (zearalenone, zearalanone, alpha-zearalanol, ...
