Recently, studies on the endocrine disrupting substances (EDS) have become extremely important after many artificially produced chemicals were found to disrupt endocrine functions. OECD, WHO and governments of many countries are trying to establish methods for endocrine disrupters testing and assessment. Comparative endocrinologists are responsible in clarifying the mechanism of EDS action in various species of animals.

Abstract


Recently, studies on the endocrine disrupting substances (EDS) have become extremely important after many artificially produced chemicals were found to disrupt endocrine functions. OECD, WHO and governments of many countries are trying to establish methods for endocrine disrupters testing and assessment. Comparative endocrinologists are responsible in clarifying the mechanism of EDS action in various species of animals.
