TLDR
This manuscript reviews the reports of a multidisciplinary national meeting on endocrine disrupting chemicals and suggests effects of EDCs on prenatal growth, thyroid function, glucose metabolism and obesity, puberty, fertility, and on carcinogenesis mainly through epigenetic mechanisms.Abstract:
Wildlife has often presented and suggested the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Animal studies have given us an important opportunity to understand the mechanisms of action of many chemicals on the endocrine system and on neurodevelopment and behaviour, and to evaluate the effects of doses, time and duration of exposure. Although results are sometimes conflicting because of confounding factors, epidemiological studies in humans suggest effects of EDCs on prenatal growth, thyroid function, glucose metabolism and obesity, puberty, fertility, and on carcinogenesis mainly through epigenetic mechanisms. This manuscript reviews the reports of a multidisciplinary national meeting on this topic.read more

TL;DR: Present data on the environmental EDCs advocate that there may be associations between human exposure to EDCs and several undesirable health outcomes that warrants further human bio-monitoring of EDCs.

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Human Fetal Growth.
TL;DR: Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals can be associated with fetal growth retardation, thyroid dysfunction, and neurological disorders, and international scientific societies recommend the implementation of research and of all possible preventive measures.

TL;DR: The hypothesis is developed that retinoblastoma is a cancer caused by two mutational events, in the dominantly inherited form, one mutation is inherited via the germinal cells and the second occurs in somatic cells.

Stimulation of adipogenesis in fibroblasts by PPAR gamma 2, a lipid-activated transcription factor.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the physiologic role of PPAR gamma 2 is to regulate development of the adipose lineage in response to endogenous lipid activators and that this factor may serve to link the process of adipocyte differentiation to systemic lipid metabolism.
