A new research study describes how one of these toxins can damage the intestinal tract by changing its defensive protein layer. These changes weakened the intestinal barrier and allowed more bacteria to cross through the intestinal wall. 4 May 2009. More...
Growing evidence indicates endocrine disrupting chemicals not only interact with hormone receptors but also modulate the activity of steroidogenic enzymes.
This review summarizes the evidence for EDCs as modulators of steroidogenic enzymes, identifies the structure/activity relationship in terms of inhibiting specific enzyme activity, questions whether experimental observations can equate with natural in vivo exposure or dietary intake of EDCs, and finally looks at the mechanisms through which these chemicals may disrupt normal steroidogenesis.
