Environment, Lifestyle, and Female Infertility
TLDR
This review aims to dissect the plausible interconnection of lifestyle and environmental factors with various neuroendocrine pathways and to discuss how it can affect the female physiology in the long-term, resulting in reproductive incompetence.Abstract:
Lifestyle factors, which include the practices we adopt in our daily life, have a significant role in shaping our overall health. These lifestyle choices are mainly centered on personal preferences and our surrounding social environment. In addition to lifestyle factors, we continuously interact with our environment, which impacts physiology. Several factors have been claimed to affect women's fertility; lifestyle-related factors, in particular, have received great attention in the last decade. Due to societal and professional pressure, childbearing age in women has gradually shifted to the 30s. Delayed age of childbearing along with modern lifestyle offers a wider window of opportunity for various lifestyle and genetic perturbations to penetrate to affect fertility. While clinical studies have strengthened a direct correlation between lifestyle, environment, and female reproductive health; experimental studies on animal models have investigated their mechanism of action. In most instances, these factors target the neuroendocrine pathways, resulting in metabolic derangements. This review aims to dissect the plausible interconnection of lifestyle and environmental factors with various neuroendocrine pathways and to discuss how it can affect the female physiology in the long-term, resulting in reproductive incompetence.read more

Work stress precipitates depression and anxiety in young, working women and men. Commentary
Abraham Reichenberg,James H. MacCabe,Maria Melchiori,Avshalom Caspi,Barry J. Milne,Andrea Danese +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of work stress on diagnosed depression and anxiety in young working adults was tested by the Dunedin study, a 1972-1973 longitudinal birth cohort assessed most recently in 2004-2005 at age 32 (n=972, 96% of 1015 cohort members still alive).

Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ
Erin E. Kershaw,Jeffrey S. Flier +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the endocrine functions of adipose tissue can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight the adverse metabolic consequences of both adipose excess and deficiency, and propose a more rational therapy for these increasingly prevalent disorders.

Weight-Reducing Effects of the Plasma Protein Encoded by the obese Gene
Jeffrey L. Halaas,Gajiwala Ketan,Margherita Maffei,Steven L. Cohen,Brian T. Chait,Daniel Rabinowitz,Roger Lallone,Stephen K. Burley,Jeffrey M. Friedman +8 more
TL;DR: Injection of wild-type mice twice daily with the mouse protein resulted in a sustained 12 percent weight loss, decreased food intake, and a reduction of body fat from 12.2 to 0.7 percent, suggesting that the OB protein serves an endocrine function to regulate body fat stores.

The contribution of outdoor air pollution sources to premature mortality on a global scale
TL;DR: It is found that emissions from residential energy use such as heating and cooking, prevalent in India and China, have the largest impact on premature mortality globally, being even more dominant if carbonaceous particles are assumed to be most toxic.

Adipose tissue as an endocrine organ.
TL;DR: These proteins commonly known as adipokines are central to the dynamic control of energy metabolism, communicating the nutrient status of the organism with the tissues responsible for controlling both energy intake and expenditure as well as insulin sensitivity.

Hormones and endocrine-disrupting chemicals: Low-dose effects and nonmonotonic dose responses
Laura N. Vandenberg,Theo Colborn,Tyrone B. Hayes,Jerrold J. Heindel,David R. Jacobs,Duk Hee Lee,Toshi Shioda,Ana M. Soto,Wade V. Welshons,R. Thomas Zoeller,John Peterson Myers +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that when nonmonotonic dose-response curves occur, the effects of low doses cannot be predicted by the effects observed at high doses, and fundamental changes in chemical testing and safety determination are needed to protect human health.
