Developmental Effects of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Wildlife and Humans
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1993)
Large numbers and large quantities of endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been released into the environment since World War II. Many of these chemicals can disturb development of the endocrine system and of the organs ...
Effects of Altered Prenatal Hormonal Environment on Expression of Autoimmune Disease in NZB/NZW Mice
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1996)
F1 hybrid New Zealand Black (NZB) x New Zealand White (NZW) (NZB/NZW) mice spontaneously develop an autoimmune disease analogous to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . Testosterone exerts a powerful suppressive effect on ...
Response
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1998)
Welshons et al. respond to Ashby and Odum regarding their experimental design research on fetal exposure to very low doses of the environmental estrogen bisphenol A.
Near-Ultraviolet Mutagenesis in Superoxide Dismutase-deficient Strains of Escherichia coli
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1994)
We compared mutagenic spectra induced by polychromatic near-ultraviolet radiation (near-UV; 300-400 nm) with superoxide anion (O2-) -dependent mutagenesis using a set of Escherichia coli tester strains. Near-UV radiation ...
Evaluating the Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Endocrine Function during Development
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999)
The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal ...
