Adverse outcome pathways: A conceptual framework to support ecotoxicology research and risk assessment

TL;DR: A framework designed for this purpose, the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), is discussed, a conceptual construct that portrays existing knowledge concerning the linkage between a direct molecular initiating event and an adverse outcome at a biological level of organization relevant to risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safety assessment of esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens)

TL;DR: The possible estrogenic hazard of parabens on the basis of the available studies is equivocal, and fails to consider the metabolism and elimination rates ofParabens, which are dose, route, and species dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Something from "nothing"--eight weak estrogenic chemicals combined at concentrations below NOECs produce significant mixture effects.

TL;DR: It is concluded that estrogenic agents are able to act together to produce significant effects when combined at concentrations below their NOECs, highlighting the limitations of the traditional focus on the effects of single agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro and in vivo estrogenicity of UV screens.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that UV screens should be tested for endocrine activity, in view of possible long-term effects in humans and wildlife.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of endocrine disruptor pesticides: a review.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the current knowledge of the potential impacts of endocrine disruptor pesticides on human health and identifies several pesticides that pose a threat to human health.

Comparison of the ligand binding specificity and transcript tissue distribution of estrogen receptors alpha and beta

TL;DR: The messenger RNA expression of both ER subtypes in rat tissues by RT-PCR is investigated and the ligand binding specificity of the ER sub types is compared, revealing a single binding component for 16β-estradiol with high affinity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of estrogenic chemicals and phytoestrogens with estrogen receptor beta.

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

Molecular basis of agonism and antagonism in the oestrogen receptor.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the LBD of ER in complex with the endogenous oestrogen, 17β-oestradiol, and the selective antagonist raloxifene provide a molecular basis for the distinctive pharmacophore of the ER and its catholic binding properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms of action of steroid/thyroid receptor superfamily members

TL;DR: The role of Ligand in RECEPTOR TRANSFORMATION and ACTIVATION is studied, as well as the role of serotonin, which plays a role in both transformation and inhibition.
