Which is the current knowledge on man-made endocrine- disrupting chemicals in follicular fluid? An overview of effects on ovarian function and reproductive health

Frontiers in Endocrinology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Oct. 2, 2024

The increase in female reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and diminished ovarian reserve that lead to subfertility infertility, has encouraged researchers search discover their underlying causes risk factors. One of the crucial factors may influence increasing number issues is environmental pollution, particularly exposure man-made endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs can interfere with microenvironment, impacting not only granulosa cell function but also other surrounding cells follicular fluid (FF), which all play essential roles for oocyte development, maturation, overall function. FF surrounds developing oocytes within an follicle represents a dynamic milieu. are usually found biological fluids, therefore interest this respect. This narrative review examines current knowledge on specific classes EDCs, including industrial chemicals, pesticides, plasticizers, known effects hormonal signaling pathways, gene expression, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress induction, inflammation FF. We describe impact development quality, menstrual cycle regulation, effect assisted technique outcomes. potential transgenerational offspring through animal first-human studies been considered also. While significant progress made, understanding EDCs’ humans, remains limited, underscoring need further research clarify actions ovary.

Exposure to Environmental Chemicals and Infertility Among US Reproductive-Aged Women

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(12), P. 1541 - 1541

Published: Nov. 21, 2024

Environmental chemical exposure has been rising over the past few decades but its impact on fertility remains uncertain. We assessed exposures to 23 common chemicals across a range of sociodemographic characteristics and their relationship with self-reported infertility. The analytic sample was non-pregnant women aged 18–49 years without history hysterectomy or oophorectomy (n = 2579) from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2016). biospecimens dichotomized as high low levels based median. Logistic regression models estimated adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for association between infertility, age, race, education level, family income, smoking status. observed associations infertility cadmium [aOR: 1.88; CI: 1.02–3.47] arsenic 1.88 (1.05–3.36)]. Two pesticides hexachlorobenzene [OR: 2.04 (1.05–3.98)] oxychlordane (1.12–3.69)] were also associated in unadjusted analyses. There negative two Per- polyfluoroalkyl substances n-perfluorooctanoic acid 0.51: (0.30–0.86)] n-perfluorooctane sulfonic (0.26–0.97). Specific may contribute risk, highlighting need targeted public health strategies mitigate exposure.

Molecular Mechanism of Action of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals on the Respiratory System

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(23), P. 12540 - 12540

Published: Nov. 22, 2024

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a growing health hazard for humankind and respiratory in particular. Such chemical compounds present the environment food may interfere with physiological processes through interference functions of endocrine system, making humans more susceptible to various types diseases. This review aims discuss effects EDCs on system. Exposure during fetal development adulthood increases susceptibility diseases such as asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis. both multiple complex ways they can act. Indeed, these induce oxidative stress, modify cell proliferation differentiation, tissue repair, modulate inflammatory response. Moreover, also break integrity blood-air barrier, allowing noxious substances penetrate into lung thus enhancing opportunity infection. In conclusion, scientific evidence available tends indicate that exposure is strongly linked initiation disease. Further research will be important discovering underlying molecular mechanisms devising preventive therapeutic measures.
