Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in wildlife and humans.
TL;DR: Mechanisms underlying the disruption of the development of vital systems, such as the endocrine, reproductive, and immune systems, are discussed with reference to wildlife, laboratory animals, and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The E-SCREEN assay as a tool to identify estrogens: an update on estrogenic environmental pollutants.
Ana M. Soto,Carlos Sonnenschein,Kerrie L. Chung,Mariana F. Fernández,Nicolás Olea,Fátima Olea Serrano +5 more
TL;DR: The aims of the work summarized in this paper were to validate the E-SCREEN assay, to screen a variety of chemicals present in the environment to identify those that may be causing reproductive effects in wildlife and humans, and to assess whether environmental estrogens may act cumulatively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogenic activity of surfactants and some of their degradation products assessed using a recombinant yeast screen
TL;DR: An estrogen-inducible screen was developed in yeast in order to assess whether surfactants and their major degradation products are estrogenic, and one class of surfactant classes degrade to persistent metabolites that were weakly estrogenic.

Vitellogenesis as a biomarker for estrogenic contamination of the aquatic environment.
John P. Sumpter,Susan Jobling +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that effluent from sewage treatment works contains a chemical, or mixture of chemicals, that induces vitellogenin synthesis in male fish maintained in the effluent, thus indicating that the effluents is estrogenic.
