Endocrine Disruptor: Its Role and Remedy

What is it about?

Endocrine disruptor interferes with the biological functions of natural hormones in the body which is responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis, reproduction, development, and/or behavior. A number of chemicals in the environment may disrupt the endocrine systems of aquatic and wildlife and have been shown to disrupt female reproductive function throughout the life span. Certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals can substantially reduce some animal populations and there can be extreme differences in the susceptibility between species to these chemicals. A variety of test methods are available but it is not known which one(s) is the best to determine the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
