Understanding the impact of endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) across a wide range species is crucial, given their ubiquitous presence. Although invertebrate lack sex steroid hormone pathways, they exhibit sensitivity to EDCs, which could affect population dynamics. This study assessed reproductive endpoints and oxidative stress parameters in Eisenia fetida following exposure estradiol soy isoflavones, resembling concentrations found livestock manure. The experiment used artificial soil, as recommended by OECD guidelines (7:2:1 sand, kaolin peat). Adult specimens were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 11/replicate): one control, three (156.1, 283.4 633.8 μg/kg dry soil) isoflavones (113.0, 215.3 405.0 mg/kg concentrations. After eight weeks, samples collected for cytological, histological biochemical analysis. Offspring development was after 12 additional weeks. Higher isoflavone led lower germ cell number increased abnormalities, especially seminal vesicles ovaries. Catalase peroxidase activities significantly all treated groups. did not E. offspring. These findings highlight fetida's EDCs at tissue level, suggesting its use bioindicator assessing EDC contamination soils.

Population growth drives food industries to seek large-scale production technologies, often involving organic compounds that can negatively impact the environment. One example is 17α-methyltestosterone (17MT), a hormone used masculinize Nile tilapia, genetically changing females phenotypically males. Endocrine disruptors such as 17MT cause harm health, affecting and reproduction of organisms, persist in environment leading compromise chains due bioaccumulation. Different techniques for quantifying removing 17MT, advanced oxidative processes, nanofiltration systems wetlands, have been developed order minimize impacts on environment, biota human beings, search balance productivity sustainability. The objective this work was carry out bibliographical research endocrine disruptor including characterization, its occurrence possible effects health.

ABSTRACT The human body gets exposed to a variety of toxins intentionally or unintentionally on regular basis from sources such as air, water, food, and soil. Certain can be synthetic, while some are biological. affect the various parts by activating numerous pro‐inflammatory markers, like oxidative stresses, that tend disturb normal function organs ultimately. Nowadays, people use different types herbal treatments, viz., drinks contain spices for detoxification their bodies. One example is turmeric, most commonly available spice in kitchen used across all kinds households. Turmeric contains curcumin, which natural polyphenol. Curcumin medicinal compound with biological activities, antioxidant, antineoplastic, anti‐inflammatory, antibacterial. Hence, this review gives comprehensive insight into promising potential curcumin heavy metals, carbon tetrachloride, drugs, alcohol, acrylamide, mycotoxins, nicotine, plastics. encompasses diverse animal‐based studies portraying curcumin's role nullifying toxic effects (especially liver, kidney, testicles, brain) enhancing defensive signaling pathways, improving antioxidant enzyme levels, inhibiting markers activities so on. Furthermore, also argues over safety assessment its utilization detoxifying agent.
