Minireview: Endocrine Disruptors: Past Lessons and Future Directions
Open accessAbstract
Within the past few decades, the concept of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has risen from a position of total obscurity to become a focus of dialogue, debate, and concern among scientists, physicians, regulators, and the public.The emergence and development of this field of study has not always followed a smooth path, and researchers continue to wrestle with questions about the low-dose effects and nonmonotonic dose responses seen with EDCs, their biological mechanisms of action, the true pervasiveness of these chemicals in our environment and in our bodies, and the extent of their effects on human and wildlife health.This review chronicles the development of the unique, multidisciplinary field of endocrine disruption, highlighting what we have learned about the threat of EDCs and lessons that could be relevant to other fields.It also offers perspectives on the future of the field and opportunities to better protect human health.(Molecular Endocrinology 30: 833-847, 2016) O ver the past half-century, the concept of endocrine- disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has risen from total obscurity to become nearly a household term.A 2012 Endocrine Society statement defined endocrine disruptors as "an exogenous chemical, or mixture of chemicals, that can interfere with any aspect of hormone action" (1).These chemicals can bind to the body's endocrine receptors to activate, block, or alter natural hormone synthesis and degradation by a plethora of mechanisms resulting in "false" or abnormal hormonal signals that can increase or inhibit normal endocrine functioning (Figure 1).Scientific understanding of EDCs has undergone a remarkable evolution.In 1958, Roy Hertz presaged the idea that certain chemicals, then used in livestock feedlots, could find their way into people's bodies and mimic the activity of hormones (2).Little came of the idea until the 1970s, when physicians and researchers began to link certain chemicals with rare cancers and reproductive effects in humans and wildlife.Unfortunately, as our

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
