{"product_id":"endocrine-disruption-and-human-health-calvin-lane-9798887400938","title":"Endocrine Disruption and Human Health","description":"The compounds of natural or human-made origin that are capable of interfering with the endocrine system of an organism are called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). These compounds disrupt the normal physiology and homeostatic processes of the organism by mimicking or inhibiting naturally occurring hormones. EDCs are found in low levels in a lot of items due to which all people are exposed to compounds having estrogenic effects in their daily lives. DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), bisphenol A (BPA), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and a range of phthalates are among the chemicals regularly found in individuals. Endocrine-disrupting substances bind classical nuclear hormone receptors by disrupting other pathways regulating hormone synthesis or action processes of the organism. EDCs severely affect the cellular and whole-body metabolism. They may also act as causative agents in a wide spectrum of metabolic disorders in humans, including obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular dysfunction. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to endocrine disruption and its effects on human health. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers engaged in this area of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calvin Lane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8887400938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887400938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Medical Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Calvin Lane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180564734207,"sku":"9798887400938","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37629257-3cfe-46f6-9ab3-d9fb5f998341.jpg?v=1712898153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/endocrine-disruption-and-human-health-calvin-lane-9798887400938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
